There's no user in tools/ but there's users outside of tools. If this
is going to be a user space library, then I wouldn't hold it to the
same level that the main kernel has. That is, if there's no internal
users of an interface, that we do not support it.

This library did come from trace-cmd, and trace-cmd does use these
interfaces. I would like to have a single repository for the library,
but that wont happen if we don't support all the interfaces.
