The tracepoint infrastructure assumes statically-defined tracepoints
and uses static_keys for tracepoint enablement.  In order to define
tracepoints on the fly, we need to have a dynamic counterpart.
Do we?

I believe the static keys should work just fine if you don't have any
defined static keys jumps, and they should work as a simple counter.

Could we do that instead of adding another variable to a structure that
is defined over a thousand times? Save us 4k of memory.
OK, yeah, makes sense if possible - let me look into that...
