Tested this one on a x86-64 fedora25 system, applied all three.

As always, please take a look at the patch when sent to Ingo, I usually
put some committer notes there, in this case I put the test steps I
performed, using e1000e.ko and e1000_flash_cycle_ich8lan.constprop.22

BTW, it would be cool if...

Oops, I retract that, while I was testing what I was went to ask you to
implement, I saw that this last patch broke this use case:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -m e1000e e1000_xmit_frame
Failed to get ELF symbols for e1000e
Probe point 'e1000_xmit_frame' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@jouet ~]#

If I remove it, I get it back:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -m e1000e e1000_xmit_frame
Added new event:
probe:e1000_xmit_frame (on e1000_xmit_frame in e1000e)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:e1000_xmit_frame -aR sleep 1

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -l
probe:e1000_xmit_frame (on e1000_get_link_up_info_80003es2lan:7@intel/e1000e/80003es2lan.c in e1000e)
[root@jouet ~]#

BTW, what I would find cool, besides fixing this new problem, would be that:

perf probe e1000_xmit_frame

worked, as we can get the module name from kallsyms:

[acme@jouet linux]$ grep e1000_xmit_frame /proc/kallsyms
ffffffffc046fc10 t e1000_xmit_frame [e1000e]
[acme@jouet linux]$

I applied the first two patches, and now I'm preparing a pull req to Ingo,

Thanks!
