Nope, I'm rather suggesting that it's better to have 1 line of code instead of 24.

And even if tracepoints are not supposed to be stable ABI (I actually believe there
is no absolute answer to that, it depends on the tracepoint and on the context),
tools are much happier with a common tracepoint interface amongst archs.
