For sources associated with a CPU, like ETMs, having a per-cpu way of storing
paths is a definite advantage and should be kept that way.

Then there are sources that aren't associated with a CPU like STMs and TPDMs.
Perhaps using an IDR or the hash of the device name as a key to a hashing
vector would be better than doing a sequential search, especially as the
list of devices is bound to increase over time.

I don't see why this is needed and without proper documentation there is no way
for me to guess the logic behind the change.  The ->activated flag should be
manipulated from the command line interface only.

See my comment above - I agree that sources _not_ associated with a CPU should
be handled differently.  CPU bound sources should be kept untouched.

That is all the time I had for today, I will continue tomorrow.
