Excellent as a debug patch!!! Let's see how it goes -- if it proves
sufficiently useful, some form should go into mainline. Or at least
be feature prominently somewhere public.

I believe that there are fewer than 300 RCU callback functions, but yes,
there would need to at least be a check at some point.
I still strongly suggest the static search in addition to this. Yes, this
is a cool patch, but it should be mostly used for the difficult-to-find
instances.
