The WITH_CALL_OPS approach seems to need much more time and effort, so,
yes, I'd also use this implementation of DIRECT_CALLS for now. Other
improvements could wait for the future "big patching rework".

FWIW, the implementation of kprobes for RISC-V has been improving
gradually too, not everything was done in the first very patchset, but
it was usable nonetheless.

I have not tested this particular version of this
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS series, only some previous ones - there
were no outstanding problems there. The code looks sane to me.
