That certainly is an interesting project! You should probably approach the subject with the wpa_supplicant's developers to gauge their interest in integrating UST tracepoints into their codebase. I have never looked at their code; maybe they already have a logging or tracing infrastructure in place which would make the modifications less invasive.
This, of course, applies to any project you'd like to instrument. Determining the developers' level of interest in LTTng is a crucial part of such proposals since we don't want to maintain patchsets for external projects (at least, I'd advocate against it).
