From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
When a ring buffer is mapped across boots, an delta is saved between the
addresses of the previous kernel and the current kernel. But this does not
handle module events nor dynamic events.
Simply do not create module or dynamic events to a boot mapped instance.
This will keep them from ever being enabled and therefore not part of the
previous kernel trace.
