Because of this commit:

| commit 42af9054c0eeed09ec58d13ec8bf52d225ebcfcc
| Author: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro>
| Date:   Mon Mar 23 15:12:26 2009 +0200
|
|    kmemtrace: restore original tracing data binary format, improve ABI

I think we should change it to use trace_event->binary() interface for
binary trace.
