Yes, I did. But I was more concerned with the hot path, making sure it
only adds the NOP instruction generated by the static_key machinery.

Steve already opposed to using internal functions. When trace invoke
public API is available, we can always come back and replace the call.

I might have missed something (as was the case for preempt_enable), but
I spent quite some time looking at the assembly code. I did my best, but
there lots of people far more skilled than me. And patch submission is
the way to connect to these people.
