Looking at this, you do not test the iter->ent->type. If events or
trace_printk is running, this will fail your tracer.

You want to test for your types first, because all trace types will be 
called for "print_line" function below.

Thus you want something like

	if (entry->type != TRACE_KSYM)
		return TRACE_TYPE_UNHANDLED;

Then the tracer infrastructure could print out the trace event or 
trace_printk.

If you only want to print your events and ignore all others. Return
TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED.

Note, the if needs to be before the trace_assign_type.
