The important thing is that we don't have performance regressions when having
tracepoints configured but no probes connected. If we have a performance
impact on this one, I'll not be able to defend the patches for default

At the moment I only have a 64 core single image system available to test
with. I don't have time right now but already blocked some time for beginning
of next week.
