As you see UPROBE_EVENT is gated on UPROBES. I think if UPROBES is
enabled, then UPROBE_EVENT should be enabled. Esp with Christoph
suggesting for module support to be removed, I think it becomes all the
more reason for UPROBE_EVENT to be enabled by default. Otherwise there
is no point in having uprobes code and having no enabled users.
I was even looking at "select UPROBE_EVENT" on enabling UPROBES.

Do you have any specific reason why UPROBE_EVENT should not be enabled
by default?
