The above comment is basically:

	/* Set x to 1 */
	x = 1;

Probably something like this:

 * FTRACE_OPS_CMD_* commands allow the ftrace core logic to request
   changes
 * to a ftrace_ops. Note, the requests may fail.
 *
 *	ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY - Request setting the ftrace ops
 *				SHARE_IPMODIFY flag.
 *	DISABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY - Request disabling the ftrace ops
 *				SHARE_IPMODIFY flag.

I was thinking about this more, and I think by default we should
consider all DIRECT ftrace_ops as the same as IPMODIFY. So perhaps the
first patch is to just remove the IPMODIFY from direct (as you did) but
then make all checks for multiple IPMODIFY also check DIRECT as well.

That is because there's no way that ftrace can verify that a direct
trampoline modifies the IP or not. Thus, it must assume that all do.

The performance part of this comment should not be in ftrace. It's an
implementation detail of the direct trampoline and may not even be
accurate with other implementations.

If this ftrace_ops being registered can support SHARE_IPMODIFY, then it
should have the ops_func defined, in which case, why not have it just
call that instead of having to return -EAGAIN?

It should just call the ftrace_ops() with the command to set it. If you
want, we could add another CMD enum that can be passed for this case.

I still think that DIRECT should automatically be considered IPMODIFY
(at least in the view of ftrace, whether or not the direct function
modifies the IP).

Really, if connecting to a function that already has IPMODIFY, then the
ops_func() needs to be called, and if the ops supports SHARED_IPMODIFY
then it should get set and then continue. 

Make sense?
