Above does not work either. The error is same roughly spatch complains
that it matches whole content ... I have a workaround, namely abusing
gcc which accept:

typedef void toto_t(int a, int b);

For function pointer typedef and then coccinelle on function declaration
do work. Still it would be nice if coccinelle can understand function
pointer typedef.
