ok, I have it done, but found another issue..

It's the tracer_flags which governs the tracer output. As I'm using
the function_graph tracer output functions, they follow function_graph
tracer's flags settings..

My first idea was a change that would allow tracer using flags
of other tracers.. so, when enabling irqsoff tracer the function_graph
tracer's options would become available.

I made the patch but got to the set_flag function which can be overloaded
by tracer. So I'd need to remember the flags's tracer, and it does
not seem right.. :)

any ideas?
