Since introduction of tracing for init functions the in_kernel_space()
check is no longer correct, as it ignores the init sections. As a
result, when probes are inserted (and disabled) in the init functions,
a branch instruction is inserted instead of a nop, which is likely to
result in random crashes during boot.
Remove the MIPS-specific in_kernel_space() method and replace it with a
generic core_kernel_text() that also checks for init sections during
system boot stage.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
