Now that ftrace_init_nop is also an arch implemented function so it may
be added in Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.rst along with
ftrace_make_nop.
In general also, adding some description about patchable-function-entry
in kernel Documentation will be useful.

I think this part is outside the scope of this patch set. Honestly, I
need to chisel out some time to rewrite the ftrace-design document, as
that's been long needed. But that can come at a later time. I'm
currently rewriting some of it now, so it will be best to not waste
effort to update a document that will soon become stale. ;-)
Yes it makes sense.

Thanks,
Amit
