No PowerPC support :/

Still has the layering violation and issues vs PMI.

That's weird, static call should work unconditionally, and fall back to
a regular function pointer exactly like you do here. Search for:
"Generic Implementation" in include/linux/static_call.h

Idem.

Something like:

DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL(perf_snapshot_branch_stack, void (*)(void));

with usage like: static_call_cond(perf_snapshot_branch_stack)();

Should unconditionally work.

Doesn't seem used at all..
