The normal variant is called instruction_pointer_set(), should this be
called ftrace_instruction_pointer_set() ?

(and yes, I hate the long name too).

Also, do you want something like:

unsigned long ftrace_regs_get_register(struct ftrace_regs *regs, unsigned int offset)
{
	switch (offset / sizeof(long)) {
	case  4: /* RBP */

	case  8: /* R9  */
	case  9: /* R8  */
	case 10: /* RAX */
	case 11: /* RCX */
	case 12: /* RDX */
	case 13: /* RSI */
	case 14: /* RDI */
	case 15: /* ORIG_RAX */
	case 16: /* RIP */
		return *(unsigned long *)regs->regs + offset;

	default:
		WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
	}
	return 0;
}
