In that case, shoudn't we pass another thing than the struct tracer_stat?
Because nothing really private can be stored in it. Moreover, most of the
time the handler is dedicated to this tracer_stat so it is able to have
an access to it.

May be we could add a void *private inside struct trace_stat and then pass
it to stat_start() ?

Thanks,
Frederic.
