Sorry, I have some half-written review comments that I will clean up and
send shortly.

As commented on prior versions, I'd very much like to see the
MCOUNT_ADDR hack go, by teaching the core ftrace code to not assume that
an mcount symbol exists.

We should be able to do that by separating the notion of NOPing a patch
site from the notion of initializing it for the first time.

Thanks,
Mark.
