I did this, but this has some maintenance problems. I'd like not to
change or add something to the lttng-module source. I'd like to compile
the lttng tracepoints, depending on some config variable int he same
step as the kernel module.

If that's not possible, maintenannce of the module get's a little bit
harder. 

 thanks anyway.
