This looks nice, but it's giving me this:
arch/powerpc/kernel/ftrace.c:497:13: error: static declaration of
'ftrace_replace_code' follows non-static declaration
include/linux/ftrace.h:317:13: note: previous declaration of
'ftrace_replace_code' was here
I think the fix is just to make our ftrace_replace_code() non-static?
