Thanks for taking a look. I realized I have to leave intel_aub.h in
since it's an installed header and used by mesa. I added a pointer and
example to the deprecation and commit messages.

By igt trace, do you mean something that captures and decodes all
ioctls? That sounds useful too, could be a separate mode or even
separate tool.
