Here is how we could do this:

1) move the implementation of src/lib/lttng-ust/tracelog.c to its own .so, e.g.
   liblttng-ust-tracelog.so,
2) modify the tracelog/tracef public headers so they dlopen() this new .so from
   a library constructor, similarly to what tracepoint.h does.

We'd need to make sure the symbols from tracelog.c are still emitted in
liblttng-ust.so, _and_ have another version (with a prefix/suffix) emitted from
liblttng-ust-tracelog.so, so we don't break ABI.

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
