Bah, you're right. Sorry for that silly mistake. Thanks for spotting.

Yes, this could go there. The only reason for keeping this here
was that the ETM is the only Trace component we support.

Ideally, this should be performed at enable/disable of the ETM,
based on the "config" selected for the session. That way we can
be sure that nobody (read, a VM) traces the host kernel/el0 behind our back
(even though we would trap the access for now).
