The ftrace table is used for accounting. What is enabled, how many
attached, how are they attached (direct calls, ftrace_with_regs,
trampolines, etc). They are not something I want to update once it is
created. I guess it could be done by preventing any changes from happening,
and recreating them before the file could be examined.
But having them removed at build time seems so much more efficient.
At least it gave me the incentive to create the first 13 patches of this
series, to make the sorttable code much easier to digest. ;-) Which I would
add no matter the solution we come up with.
