The btree ones are rather difficult because it will require attaching
difference events to a single tracepoint and filter on which one
we want, so it may take a bit of time.

The existing xfs_btree_trace.c won't be much use for that and if we
really need it we can look at it in git history.

Christoph, can you send a properly signed off patch to kill
xfs_btree_trace.c and and the #ifdef XFS_BTREE_TRACE code in
xfs_btree_trace.h?
