I have to go and revisit the config options for CONFIG_FTRACE and
CONFIG_TRACING, as they were added when this all started (back in
2008), and the naming was rather all misnomers back then.

"ftrace" is really for just the function tracing, but CONFIG_FTRACE
really should just be for the function tracing infrastructure, and
perhaps not even include trace events :-/ But at the time it was
created, it was for all the "tracers" (this was added before trace
events).
