[PATCH] IA64: kprobe invalidate icache of jump buffer

Kprobe inserts breakpoint instruction in probepoint and then jumps to
instruction slot when breakpoint is hit, the instruction slot icache must
be consistent with dcache.  Here is the patch which invalidates instruction
slot icache area.

Without this patch, in some machines there will be fault when executing
instruction slot where icache content is inconsistent with dcache.
