Right, so either we have it always on, for things like ftrace, 

  in which case the creation traverses rmap and installs the probes
  all existing mmap()s, and a mmap() hook will install it on all new
  ones.

Or they're strictly consumer driver, like perf, in which case the act of
enabling the event will install the probe (if its not there yet).
