No, we want to decouple it from 'tracing'. It's events, not tracing. Events
are more broader, they can be used for RAS, profiling, counting, etc. - not
just tracing.

Furthermore, we only want /debug/tracing/events really, not the various
dynamic ftrace controls - those could remain in /debug/tracing/.

Ingo
