I think you need to say this callback may be invoked on context switches
with per-thread events attached. As far I understand, the callback cannot
be invoked for system-wide events.

There is no mention of this function anywhere else. Should not be here.

I think you want to use jump_labels instead of this to make
the callback optional. This is already used all over the place
in the generic code.
