Nikolay has some concernas about adding the tracepoint, so I'll leave
this patch out of the series for now as we should decide how to proceed.

Thacepoints are considered an ABI by some and not ABI by others. I think
it's a good addition to the debugging aids that also may turn out to be
useful for evaluating performance later.

At minimum we could add some prefix/suffix to the debugging tracepoint
name, so we can let developers add what they need right away.
