I'd like to bring up the point of KVM tracepoints here. KVM can be configured as
a module, and may clearly contain tracepoints that we'd like to be stable.

My thought is that what we really want to enforce is "no stable tracepoints in
drivers" rather than in "modules", but I might be wrong.

Thoughts ?
