Ideally we'd do that definitely; my worry is that we'd have to
provide a buffer for each parameter type, and representing some parameter
types can be quite complex (like function pointer parameters). 
The memory and computation overheads would likely be significant to compute
the exact parameter types I suspect, and this would need to be
done for > 3000 vmlinux functions which have multiple instances.

In practice, the simplistic approach does seem to work;
I'd suggest we stick with the simple approach for now and
see if we can improve on it over time.

Thanks!
