Here's the patch I have at the head of the series now, with the above ugliness changed to an unconditional __tracepoint_string attribute.
I was thinking of something like this. Feel free to add this to your series.

Nico,
If this patch addresses the issue where 3 RCU related tracepoint strings turn up /after/ _edata on !CONFIG_TRACING, there is already a patch queued up here
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=140518452623148&w=2
As far as In know, these were the only occurrences using a __used modifier, which is why they weren't dropped by the compiler in the !CONFIG_TRACING case.
Ard,
Similar but different problem. Nicolas's problem was with new use cases for tracepoint_string. My patch fixes the issue for the general case.
