I agree; don't rely on kvm_events_tp. Define KVM_ENTRY_TRACE and
KVM_EXIT_TRACE like x86.
If you mean defining them in uapi, that doesn't work for arches that 
have
multiple subarches that may have different trace events.  This patchset
doesn't actually implement dynamic support for the subarches, but it 
avoids
adding constants to uapi headers that only apply to one of the 
subarches.
I don't agree on relying on kvm_events_tp[0] and [1]. If you need that 
to be a runtime definition then change KVM_ENTRY_TRACE to const char 
*kvm_entry_trace and s390 and other arches can have code to set 
kvm_{entry,exit}_trace at runtime.
Yeah, will change them to kvm_{entry,exit}_trace, instead.
