I'm not sure what this tracepoint is useful for in the absenve of a real
signaling mechanism that must be enabled (like interrupts).

For all the other bits (begin/end wait, fence signalling itsefl) we have
tracepoints already, so I think we're all covered. What do you think will
be lost with the tracepoint here? If there's a real need for it I think I
can rework the already merged patch to still call the tracpoint, while
avoiding everything else. I just don't see the use-case for that.
