It looks like the implementation of `rvtrace_recording_init` in the
auxtrace.c file is static (private), and the arguments don't match
this declaration.
Should we remove "static" from auxtrace.c and update this prototype
to: "struct auxtrace_record *rvtrace_recording_init(int *err, struct
perf_pmu *rvtrace_pmu);"?

Or should we simply remove this declaration from the header? Thanks.
