I don't think so. It's really just the same thing. The old #UD C
function was:

void do_invalid_op(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code)
{
	do_error_trap(regs, error_code, "invalid opcode", X86_TRAP_UD,
                      SIGILL, ILL_ILLOPN, (void __user *)uprobe_get_trap_addr(regs));
}

after expanding the DO_ERROR() muck.

The new one does:

void handle_invalid_op(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	do_error_trap(regs, 0, "invalid opcode", X86_TRAP_UD, SIGILL,
		      ILL_ILLOPN, error_get_trap_addr(regs));
}

which is exactly the same except for the error code being hardcoded to
zero in handle_invalid_op() because #UD does not have one.

Not sure what to document :)
