It would indeed only work for call instructions. I was thinking we'd
know that because we only ever batch up call instructions, though.
But it doesn't matter. I was looking at the ftrace code because I
thought there was some subtle timing bug or race or similar. But it
turned out my "memmove()" was the problem. See the patch I just sent
out.
