I'm rather concerned as I haven't seen any progress on the lttng core
lately.  I'd really prefer to have a version in close to mergeable shape
first, that's actively beeing pushed.  Adding the instrumentation is
trivial as seen by this small patch, but getting the core right (and who
knows if that involves changing the way actual instrumentation works, it's
not like that hasn't changed n million times yet) is essential.
