It also needs parts of 1d7bf993e0731b4ac790667c196b2a2d787f95c3 (MIPS:
ftrace: Add support for syscall tracepoints.) to apply properly to stuff
older than 3.11.  But, I'm not so sure that is good to apply as that is
a whole new feature.

So I think I'll just do this "by hand" to get it to work properly...
