Hi,

Attached is a tracepoint based tapset for probing IRQ handlers, 
softirqs, and workqueue operations.
Of these, softirqs and irq handler based probes cannot have kprobe 
equivalents, 'cos of the kprobe blacklist. And the position of 
tracepoints for workqueues makes it difficult to define a kprobe 
fallback for most of these probes.

Looking fwd to feedback to improve it..
