And if we were to go the route of calling a single fgraph_ops caller, I
would want it choreographed with ftrace, such that the direct caller calls
a different fgraph function only if it has only one graph caller on it and
the fgraph loop function if a function has more than one. Just like the
ftrace code does.

If we are going to go that route, let's do it right.
