I tried to describe it in commit [2] changelog:

    At the moment we can enable this only on x86 arch, because arm relies
    on ftrace_ops object representing just single trampoline image (stored
    in ftrace_ops::direct_call). Archs that do not support this will continue
    to use *_ftrace_direct api.

yes, it seems to be difficult atm, Mark commented on that in [1],
I don't know arm that good to be of much help in here, cc-ing Mark
