Scott, I've just found that this change (commit 65dd297 "xfs: %pF is
only for function pointers") breaks the symbolic printing in XFS
trace events on x86_64. eg.

This results in output like this:

760.828474: xfs_perag_get: dev 253:32 agno 13 refcount 10 caller 0xffffffff814eef02s
760.828476: xfs_perag_put: dev 253:32 agno 13 refcount 9 caller 0xffffffff814eefe8s

When I revert this commit, I get:

71.911265: xfs_perag_get: dev 253:32 agno 0 refcount 11 caller xfs_extent_busy_insert
71.911266: xfs_perag_put: dev 253:32 agno 0 refcount 10 caller xfs_extent_busy_insert

Which is exactly what we should be getting from the tracing. I'm
using trace-cmd to gather and print the events, and it breaks
both old and current versions of trace-cmd.

Can you please look into why this change broke the tracing output
on x86-64 - if there is no obvious/easy fix for it, then I'm simply
going to revert it because having the tracing work correctly on
x86-64 is far more important to us than ppc64 or ia64....

Cheers,

Dave.
