Now that we have a more effective way to disable ftrace, let's use that
before switching to a new kernel during kexec.

This doesn't compile on 32-bit:

Hmm... pmac32_defconfig built fine for me, so I thought we are ok there.



A wrapper is probably best that does nothing on 32-bit.

Actually it should probably do __ftrace_enabled_save() etc. on 32-bit,
like the existing code does.

Agree. In hindsight, I'm not updating ftrace_32.S, so I think I will gate this with CONFIG_PPC64.

Thanks,
Naveen
