I don't know so much about ftrace, but to get a better idea of the
problem, could you try with the patch below?
Is ps3-lpm built as a loadable module, and if so, is it the first one
that got loaded?
Also, try to either build with CONFIG_PS3_LPM=n, or delete ps3-lpm.ko
so it does not get loaded to see what happens.
