Just dump the tag names, simple utility to help rework classes abstractions to
reduce memory footprint:
[acme@newtoy pahole]$ dtagnames /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/OUTPUT/qemu/linux-2.6/vmlinux | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
size: 110832408
207882 formal_parameter
167305 pointer_type

28372 array_type
9121 const_type
7940 union_type

Argh, the 'struct class' catchall uses way too many memory for non
'structure_type' classes, work to do to reduce the current 105MB memory
footprint for processing a qemu vmlinux.

A class tracer, it looks for non-inline functions that receive as one of its
parameters a pointer to the specified "class" (a struct) and will generate a
kprobes kernel module, see the whole sequence in the README.ctracer file.
Next steps involve supporting kretprobes, inserting kprobes at each inline
"method" expansion, using relayfs, and eventually uprobes to make this useful
for userspace as well.
