This is similar to the bitmap for trace events, which we added to the
TB hash so that when the TCG events have no subscribers left, we just
regenerate the TBs.

It's true though that in this RFC there are no good use cases for this,
because the callbacks that affect performance are all unconditionally
embedded in the generated code. So at least for now we could drop
this patch.

Thanks,
