+ * struct klp_ops - structure for tracking registered ftrace ops structs
+ *
+ * A single ftrace_ops is shared between all enabled replacement functions
+ * (klp_func structs) which have the same old_addr.  This allows the switch
+ * between function versions to happen instantaneously by updating the klp_ops
+ * struct's func_stack list.  The winner is the klp_func at the top of the
+ * func_stack (front of the list).
+ *
+ * @node:       node for the global klp_ops list
+ * @func_stack: list head for the stack of klp_func's (active func is on top)
+ * @fops:       registered ftrace ops struct
