Yes, I did bounce the message later - sorry!

OK.. I just took it from the patches, will change it

It's been around from the previous patches, we can definitely refactor it

Petr wanted to do a version where we lookup things in ftrace(). Steve suggested using ftrace_location(). We can refactor these bits.
