I was thinking of adding it to the objtool work. I need to consolidate
the recordmcount code and objtool for doing this, and that is on my
agenda (it has to do with some of the current "urgent" needs).

But this will take a bit of effort. In the mean time and not against
just adding the whack-a-mole approach and add the functions that the
original patch selected as nokprobes.
