Question. This is a root only command, correct? Otherwise, we are
allowing any user to create a large performance impact to the system.

When is ADD called? Because as soon as you register this function, even
though you have it "disabled" the system takes about a 13% impact on
performance just by calling this.

Is it really an issue that we shouldn't call the full blown register
instead? I'm not really understanding why this is a problem. Note, one
of the improvements to ftrace in the near future is to enable ftrace
without stop_machine.
