When I had looked into this in the past, I had assumed we could figure
this out at ftrace_init_nop() time, and adjust rec->ip there.

However, placing code *before* the function entry point will also break
stacktracing and will require adjustment, and I'd been intending to
clean up the stacktrace code first, so I haven't looked at that in a
while.

I'll take a look at the rest of the series shortly.

Thanks,
Mark.
