The hacky approach is a module parameter (i915.trace_load=1) that we parse
in i915_init() and enable the trace points manually. I remember this being
possible, once upon a time...

I'll keep digging to see how we can do it today.

The long term solution is to ask for a generic method to enable module
tracepoints upon module load.
