I guess it would make sense to have some architecture hook which
allows to run code on all entry/exit paths instead of duplicating the
code n times.

But apparently my code seems to have more bugs (e.g. I didn't consider
kprobes which would make the instruction comparison not work). So this
has to wait until I'm back after vacation.
