Cool!

Makes sense.

A quick look at the patches look fine to me. I'll do a bit more digging
before adding a Reviewed-by.

One thing you may want to note, we are working on fixing direct trampolines
that conflict with the function graph tracer, and have patches that fix it.
I'm not that familiar on how ftrace works on s390, but you may want to
investigate this, because if s390 has the issues that x86 has, where you
can't have both function graph tracing and a direct trampoline on the same
function.
