OK to use the enumeration, but define this mtype field as a fixed-size
field (e.g. int32_t). (yes, I did the mistake to use enums in the ABI
in the past). Currently, compilers use 32-bit int typically, but they
have some freedom in the choice of the backing type.

doing this change assumes that lttng_enum was never used in lttng-ust, is
that true ?

Thanks,
