We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a
line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the
appropriate format for kprobe_events.

Could you reuse (refactoring) probe_type_is_available() in probe-file.c to share
opening README file?

Done. I've sent patches to do that, please review.

Others looks good to me :)

Thanks. I hope that's an Ack for this patchset?

If so, and if Ingo/Michael agree, would it be ok to take the kernel bits 
through the powerpc tree like we did for kprobe_exceptions_notify() 
cleanup?
