That however makes you waste a lot of cache on trace_events_dstate
(commit 585ec72, "trace: track enabled events in a separate array",
2016-02-03).

Perhaps we get the linker to do compute the id, for example by using a
separate data section and then use te-&te_first to compute the id...
Richard, do you have ideas on how to do this in a reasonably portable
manner?

sstate means the event is unavailable, it's basically just a way to
provide better error messages.
