a14a07b801 ftrace, ia64: IA64 dynamic ftrace support
IA64 dynamic ftrace support.
The original _mcount stub for each function is like:
	alloc r40=ar.pfs,12,8,0
	mov r43=r0;;
	mov r42=b0
	mov r41=r1
	nop.i 0x0
	br.call.sptk.many b0 = _mcount;;

The patch convert it to below for nop:
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	nop.x 0x0;;
This isn't completely nop, as there is one instuction 'mov r3=ip', but
it should be light and harmless for code follow it.

And below is for call
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	brl.many .;;
In this way, only one instruction is changed to convert code between nop
and call. This should meet dyn-ftrace's requirement.
But this requires CPU support brl instruction, so dyn-ftrace isn't
supported for old Itanium system. Assume there are quite few such old
system running.
