Well, we could move trace_init() after rcu_init() for now too, and
remove my tracepoint patch. But I'd like to have trace_init() go before
sched_init() since that could possibly use debugging tracepoints as
well.

So if you could add a rcu_partial_init() that makes calling
call_rcu_sched() work, that would be great. That could be for 3.20
then, and for now, I just move trace_init() after rcu_init() which is
still before irq_init() that Thomas needs for his work.
