Sure, I can change that.

 ftrace_regs_ip_set()? ;-)

I haven't gotten this far yet. I'm looking at generic use cases on how to
get args across archs. Each arch will have its own method.

Not sure we even want to warn. Perhaps have this as:

bool ftrace_regs_get_register(struct ftrace_regs *regs,
                  unsigned int offset, unsigned long *val)
{
	if (regs->cs) {
		*val = regs_get_register(regs->regs, offset);
		return true;
	}
		
	switch (offset / sizeof(long)) {
	case ...:
		*val = *(unsigned long *)regs->regs + offset;
		return true;
	default;
		return false;
> 	}
