Yeah, I was aware of the ftrace trampoline. My point was, ftrace trampoline
doesn't seem to have any special requirements. Therefore, it is probably not
necessary to have a separate type just for it.

AFAICT, kprobe, ftrace, and BPF (JIT and trampoline) can share the same
execmem_type. We may need some work for some archs, but nothing is
fundamentally different among these.
