I can't use kallsyms for valid tests at boot up. Even with a binary search,
it's still rather slow. The ftrace table is created at early boot, even
before scheduling (it's needed before you can enable boot time function
tracing), so any slow down in creating that table slows down the boot, and
people will notice.
