Looks really nice!

Could it be more generalized to be used by other feature that need to
store stack trace such as tracepoint or page owner?

If it could be, there is one more requirement.
I understand the fact that entry is never removed from depot makes things
very simpler, but, for general usecases, it's better to use reference count
and allow to remove. Is it possible?

Thanks.
