We could do it in separate instructions, something like:
        @ pop saved regs      
        ldmia   sp!, {r0-r12} 
        ldr     ip, [sp, #8]  
        ldr     lr, [sp, #4]  
        ldr     sp, [sp, #0]  
        mov     pc, ip        

Same goes for saving the regs, except I need to replace the LR stored outside of ftrace_regs_caller
with  OLD_R0 so that the stack would become aligned to 8 bytes.

I believe this is incorrect, I think it is worth being compiled in only if
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, but this is dependent on CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
and the first one is not necessarily enabled if the second one is. Otherwise, what's
the point of having two CONFIGs ?
