My dream would be to see:
1) | handle_IRQ_event(29:ahci) {
But it's not possible for now, not until we have the hashtable.
Anyway, instead of having #-1:none, it would be better to have nothing
in case of user context (or softirq).
Or actually why not just an ftrace_printk when the probe is on?
Since it immediately follows the call to handle_IRQ_event, we would have the
following displayed:
1) | handle_IRQ_event() {
1) | /* 29 : ahci */
Because ftrace_printk send TRACE_PRINT entries which are displayed like this
by the function graph tracer.
It would be much more light than a whole column.
