Right. I hacked the emulate_push_stack (original name: push_ret_address)
with sizeof_long = 4, and 32bit binary uprobe works fine on x86_64
platform then... But that will involve a bigger change to propogate
the is_64bit_mm() along the call graph.

Thanks for reviewing! I will wait for your further comments/direction
before next step.

As mentioned in my previous email, for 32bit application,
compiler won't generate "push %r8" as "%r8" is only available on
x86_64 platform. For 32bit app, I see "push %bp" etc which does not
have rex_prefix. They cannot be emulated right now due to
emulate_push_stack needs change.
