tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary record
Impact: save on memory for tracing
Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry,
struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary
event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events.
A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it.
So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure
is for this purpose.

tracing as reported by Steven Rostedt]
