Thought about that but trace events and scheduler callbacks have very
different trigger enable/disable conditions.  I couldn't think of a
way to do both in reasonably efficient manner.  Although they both are
notification mechanisms, they do have pretty different requirements
and I'm not quite sure whether unifying them is a good idea.  Of
course if you have an idea to do both efficiently, no reason not to do
it.

Thanks.
