That's a good point, vmlinux would be unbearable for multiple warnings.

We could accumulate a list of affected functions and then supply that to
objdump-func.sh at the end and dump them all at the same time.

objdump-func.sh would need to be changed to look for multiple funcs at
once.

If I do that, do you still want the separate backtrace option?
