the problem is that we should save all the registers for arguments,
which is probably doable.. but if caller uses more than 6 arguments,
we need stack data, which will be wrong because of the extra stack
frame we do in bpf trampoline.. so we could crash

the patch below prevents to attach these functions directly in kernel,
so we could keep these functions in BTF
