Does this work with external tools such as trace-cmd, i.e. does it export the 
correct format file? I wouldn't expect it to be that easy to avoid the 
EM()/EMe() dance :)

Also can we make the symbolic names lower_case and without the LRU_ prefix? I 
think it's more consistent with other mm tracepoints, shorter and nicer.
