I also think 'has to be probed' looks confusing, it should be, I
suggest, "put in place using 'perf probe'", what will case it to really
be _probed_ is when it is activated via a tool like 'perf record'.

So yes, I think the message _and_ the example in this commit log must
show what needs to be done, in detail, to overcome the "problem"
mentioned in the message above.

And after that its up to someone to do the logical next step: if it
needs to be put in place, well, do it, automagically.
