so multi trampoline gets called from all the registered functions,
so there would need to be filter for specific ip before calling the
standard program.. single cmp/jnz might not be that bad, I'll check

we could just skip ip arg when generating entry for normal programs 
and start from first argument address for %rdi

and it'd need to be transparent for current trampolines user API,
so I wonder there will be some hiccup ;-) let's see
