I'm guessing there was some confusion. When this was first introduced, I
stated it needs to go into the gpu tree, which a new set of patches included
more Cc's. I never checked if those Cc's were for the GPU maintainers or not
(I assumed they were).

I'm not sure where Yiwei Zhang got his email list for the GPU maintainers
from. As he obviously thought it was going to them.

Seeing that this patch set is going through dri-devel list, which I'm
guessing is also for GPU, even though it's not under that in the
MAINTAINERS file:

Should the list be added there?

I've been struggling with this patch set because nobody claimed ownership
for it. But now I believe we have one (you? :-)  And I can now just comment
on the tracing POV and leave the content and usability to you folks ;-)
