If you want I can do something like below to help create a distinction. It is
none enforcing though.

diff --git a/include/linux/tracepoint.h b/include/linux/tracepoint.h

        static inline void trace_##name(proto)                          \
        {                                                               \
                if (static_key_false(&__tracepoint_##name.key))         \


Another option is to extend DECLARE_TRACE() to take a new argument IS_TP and
based on that select the function name. This will be enforcing but I will have
to go fixup many places.

Of course 'TP' can be replaced with anything more appealing.
