Did you miss the extra f?

You can wrap the regular {un,}register_trace_##call() things in
{un,}register_/F/trace_##call() functions which also take care of the
module stuff.

Your patch is virtually identical to the one that started this thread,
everybody using the TRACE_EVENT() things will still need to worry about
modules.
