We could add a TRACE_EVENT_ABI() as Ingo has been suggesting. If
anything, it could mean that the given tracepoint will always have the
same name. And perhaps the data it holds will always be there, but may
also be extended.

The tracepoint sched_switch should stay the same. We may add more data,
but the comm, pid, prio => comm, pid, prio, I don't see going away.
