And not just trace-cmd. I want to get those plugins to also work with
perf. That is, have the kvm plugin (et. al.) make it so that perf does
not need to rely only on the TP_printk() in the format file.

But that said, it is trivial to make this into a .so. Just having a
separate library would be a huge first step.
