Maybe we don't have to be too dogmatic about our usual method.  If we can eke
out a list of tracepoints from a running kernel, and use its running 
build-id/release to validate it against the target -r kernel, then the 
information can probably be relied upon.

(Of course, debugfs is sometimes not mounted.)
