Is it really worth the effort of benchmarking tracing API overhead here?

The main cost of a tracing based approach is going to to be the data structure
for remembering outstanding allocations so that free events can be matched to
the appropriate callsite. Regardless of whether it's done with BFP or by
attaching to the tracepoints directly, that's going to be the main overhead.
