The thing is, tracepoints are already bloated. I do not want to add
something like this that will unnecessarily add more text.
Since all tracepoints callbacks have at least one parameter (__data), we
could declare tp_stub_func as:
static void tp_stub_func(void *data, ...)
{
return;
}
And now C knows that tp_stub_func() can be called with one or more
parameters, and had better be able to deal with it!
