I think it makes sense, and I can either do this in this patch (and
resend) or as a follow up.

I guess the only possible concern is that we may introduce too much
tracing, to the point that it hurts performance, even when not enabled.
(I was starting to think about this anyway, as I've got other series,
either posted or in my queues, that adds a few more tracepoints,
because they're so damn useful! ;-P)

In that case, I guess we could think of doing something similar to what
ftrace does in Linux --for disabling and enabling tracing and
tracepoints-- which should be more lightweight than what we do.

In any case, none of this applies to a "DOM_ADD" / "DOM_REM" tracing
events. :-)

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
