[RFC PATCH 00/14] powerpc64: Add support for ftrace direct calls

[Naveen N. Rao]

This series adds support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS for 
powerpc64le.

This is mostly working fine for me, except for a soft lockup I see with 
the ftrace direct selftest. It happens when irqsoff tracer is being 
tested with the ftrace direct modules. This appears to be an existing 
upstream issue since I am able to reproduce the lockup without these 
patches. I will be looking into that to see if I can figure out the 
cause of those lockups.

In the meantime, I would appreciate a review of these patches.
