I think, if "ip" means "instruction pointer", it should point
the real instruction address, which is dereferenced from function
descriptor. So using kretprobe_trampoline_addr() is good.
But of course, it depends on the architecture. I'm not familiar
with the powerpc and s390, I need those maintainer's help...
