Yup, looks good to me. I'm going to queue it.
Just some minor neats I'll change, see below:

I'll try to move most of this new code in the bottom of ftrace.c, where most of
the ftrace related function graph tracer features are implemented.

Hopefully that could avoid us this ifdef'd declaration and all of the new others
by putting them in the already ifdef'd section of function graph helpers.
And also it's better to group the function graph helpers together.

I'm also going to rename this into set_early_ftrace() :-)

Thanks!
