You can have a config that enables these trace points, and when you
enable one of the systems that uses them, have that config select the

tracepoints. For example, in a Makefile:

obj-$(CONFIG_RAS_TRACE_POINTS) += ras-trace.o


Use #ifdef CONFIG_FOO_BAR around tracepoints that are required for
specific systems if the tracepoints in the header file are for different
subsystems that can be enabled or disabled separately by configs.

Cool, this sounds exactly like what we should do, I'll hack it up soon.

Thanks a lot.
