Right, so it accepts both +0 and +z, while the latter will only accept
+z.

( in the iret case I had offset at +0 and stack_size at +40, while with
  the ftrace case I had both at +8; which is why I wrote the form that
  accepts +0 and +z )

Anyway, I tested it, and for the ftrace case (the only current user of
the hint) +z is correct for both offset and stack_size. I build both FP
and ORC variants.
