Full ACK. Again, the TOC restore needs to go _after_ the replacement function,
and the klp_return_helper works as transparently as possible, so this
was my first choice. Arguments on the stack? I thought we'll deal with them
once we get there (e.g. _really_ need to patch a varargs function or one
with a silly signature).
