But they should be able to use the tracing for several other tracers.
One other problem is that you need CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS (is that a
lockdep or just trace feature?) to use any tracer since the
tracing_cpumask file is always created for all tracer. This file has
tracing_cpumask_write() as a write operation, and this func uses
raw_local_funcs....

Perhaps we should disable the tracing_cpu_mask related things if
TRACE_IRQFLAGS in not configured?
