So the answer is no, that wouldn't have worked.

After spending more time on this your approach looks goot to me now. If you
send v8 addressing my comment about removing the range check from
ftrace_call_repalce() as it is rendundant to what arm_gen_branch_link() is
already doing I'd be happy to give this series my reviewed-and-tested-by.
You'd need to ensure the warning is not triggered when we expect the call to
fail.

FWIW, I do have this to address that range check issue and reduce the ifdefery
too if it helps
