This crashes with a "Bad real address for load" attempting to load
from the vmalloc region in realmode (faulting address is in DAR).

  Oops: Bad interrupt in KVM entry/exit code, sig: 6 [#1]

I suspect the reason is the per-cpu data is not in the linear chunk.
This could be restored if that was able to be fixed, but for now,
just remove the tracepoints.
