This is on top of the last patch, but I'll likely restructure it and remove
the kaslr_offset() part totally. I'd still break it up into two patches.
One to remove the reading of the System.map, and then the other to add the
skip variable.

This version, I add a "ftrace_mcount_skip" that is default to zero, but the
sorttable.c code will update it to skip over the functions that it zeroed
out.
