Dynamic-ftrace not working in PlayStation3

[Remis]

Complementing what Arnd said, we got the dynamic ftrace to work. Just
changed 4 things in the *menuconfig*.
Before these were built as modules (this is the default I guess):
CONFIG_USB=m
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m

Then got them built into the kernel:
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_SOUND=y
CONFIG_SND=y
CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y

And everything worked just fine.
In my config when I also tried to build the *CONFIG_SND_PS3* into the
kernel, the kernel did not boot (probably another bug !? :-).

Cheers,
Remis
