+In order to track the events at the early module load phase, add the
+following codes in your module:
+
+ char *xxx_trace = NULL;
+ module_param_named(trace, xxx_trace, charp, 0400);

+ trace_set_clr_module_event(THIS_MODULE, xxx_trace, 1);
+ ....
+ }

+where the xxx_trace is same as event-list described above, besides DO
+NOT include the subsystem.
+
+You can check the sample code for more information.
