i didnt mean *just* Kconfig, but funny enough, the Kconfig for
HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST had the most relevant information.
all other places were #ifdef with no meaning.  and the existing
x86/ppc/sh ports of ftrace are devoid of any comments let alone useful
ones, as is the core ftrace code wrt the arch pieces it relies on.
the absolute dearth of ftrace documentation for arch porters is
ridiculous.
