Right, missed that.

Well, since on Linux eal depends on pmu, disabling pmu ends up disabling
eal, which breaks minimal build.

As for the second question - no. I think ideally lib should remain
optional. However, since trace is part of eal, that indirectly forces
pmu to be built.

Alternatively, I guess we could make the library explicitly optional by
extra meson option. But given that there are already options for
controlling libraries that approach is not perfect either.
