Thanks Stephen... Following is one major factor that blocks
me from using trace points... Trace points are unaware of the history of
events that already happened before the start of monitoring of events.
Consider that I start monitoring for clock_events at time instant X, we 
might not get to know the state of the clocks that were enabled and left 
running  before the time instant X.

clk_summary table already has a very intuitive/impressive layout of 
conveying the the states and relationship between different clocks in 
the system. That's why I thought adding the frequency_stats info here 
might make it more comprehensive.
Are there any potential risks of doing so ?

I will wait for your thoughts to address other comments
that you had in my patch.
