And looking at what I replied before for the original patch. It would
probably be a good idea to blacklist directories. Like we do with
function tracing. We probably should black list both kernel/tracing and
kernel/events from being probed.

Did this come up at plumbers? You were there too, I don't remember
discussing it there.
