If HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is defined but not
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is not, then the callback will have regs defined.

Enabling FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_ARGS will pass full regs in that case. Are you
just saying in the change log that this is what you did? As it currently
reads, it sounds like a fgraph user needs to add FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS??
