This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages:
* ftrace enable
* sysfs event entry creation
This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point
by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important
to trace boot-up allocations.

This is much better, I'll give it some tests and add it to my 3.7 queue.

Great. Is the event_remove() code, okey? I wasn't too sure about this part.
And also: do you think we could try to only early-enable those events
that were setup with 'trace_event' boot parameter?
I tried but couldn't do it without looping through the complete
__start_ftrace_event array and comparing each entry.
Is this even worthy?
Thanks for reviewing,
Ezequiel.
