With commit c588072bba6b5 ("iommu/vt-d: Convert intel iommu driver to

more. Remove them so that they don't show up under
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/intel_iommu. The users should use the
map/unmap traces defined in the iommu core from now on.

Is this needed in 5.11, or can it wait until 5.12?

It's necessary for 5.11 as far as I can see. Without this, users still
see the events under /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/intel_iommu, but
they will get nothing traced even they enable the events.

I'm just a bit wary about breaking userspace by removing them altogether,
although I see that there's plenty of precedent for removing events from
the include/trace/events directory, so it's probably fine.

However, the patch as-is results in this warning for me:

so I'll drop this for now.

Okay, I will rework this. Thanks!
