I would just say that this could be seen rather as a driver tracing interface than a general purpose tracing interface. Therefore, maybe the name is a bit misleading ? And yes, what is there is good, but it does not seem to be a replacement for a generic kernel tracer.
My suggestions to turn it into a more suitable interface for a generic tracer are summarized in this email: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/15/136
