Those imbalanced curly braces are not proper kernel style.

Also, is the (void *) cast required? arch.insns ought to be void * already, right?
(I haven't checking whether that's true for all architectures.)

Btw., the original code had the curly braces right:

> - if (p->ainsn.boostable == 0) {
> - if ((regs->ip > copy_ip) &&
> - (regs->ip - copy_ip) + 5 < MAX_INSN_SIZE) {

> - synthesize_reljump((void *)regs->ip,
> - (void *)orig_ip + (regs->ip - copy_ip));
> - p->ainsn.boostable = 1;
> - } else {
> - p->ainsn.boostable = -1;
> - }
> - }

Thanks,

Ingo
