The normal variant is called instruction_pointer_set(), should this be
called ftrace_instruction_pointer_set() ?
Sure, I can change that.
(and yes, I hate the long name too).
 ftrace_regs_ip_set()? ;-)
Also, do you want something like:

unsigned long ftrace_regs_get_register(struct ftrace_regs *regs, unsigned int offset)
{
I haven't gotten this far yet. I'm looking at generic use cases on how to
get args across archs. Each arch will have its own method.

	switch (offset / sizeof(long)) {
	case  4: /* RBP */

	case  8: /* R9  */
	case  9: /* R8  */
	case 10: /* RAX */
	case 11: /* RCX */
	case 12: /* RDX */
	case 13: /* RSI */
	case 14: /* RDI */
	case 15: /* ORIG_RAX */
	case 16: /* RIP */
		return *(unsigned long *)regs->regs + offset;

	default:
		WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
Not sure we even want to warn. Perhaps have this as:

bool ftrace_regs_get_register(struct ftrace_regs *regs,
                  unsigned int offset, unsigned long *val)
{
	if (regs->cs) {
		*val = regs_get_register(regs->regs, offset);
		return true;
	}
		
	switch (offset / sizeof(long)) {
	case ...:
		*val = *(unsigned long *)regs->regs + offset;
		return true;
	default;
		return false;
	}
