Yes, but the next patch will need it. I do not really mind, but if you
do not object I'd prefer to define it in this patch (note that it also
changes skip_sstep() to check ops->emulate even if it has no users yet).
This way the next change will be a little bit simpler.

In the longer term we will (probably) need ops->abort as well, but currently
we can assume handle_riprel_post_xol() in arch_uprobe_abort_xol() can do
nothing wrong even if ->ops != &defaule_xol_ops (one of the reasons for 3/7).
