Please move the ftrace_exports routines up, instead of moving the
trace_event_buffer_commit() down. As it fits better where it is (next
to the other buffer_commit code).

I would also recommend making each static branch a separate variable.
That way you could pick and choose what you want to enable. If you only
want events, and functions are being traced, it will add a bit of
overhead to handle the functions to just ignore them.

That is:

ftrace_exports_enabled, trace_event_exports_enabled,
trace_marker_exports_enabled.

That's a good idea. Let me add that to next revision.
