We also have a _RET_IP_ macro that does the same and has a much more useful name. And given that we need the address as void pointer to print it using our printk extension both seem a bit supoptimal. Given that a lot of tracing code needs this a bit of standardization would be useful - more important for the type to store the address than just the macro name.
