So you want multiple reads of /debug/tracing/trace to return different
output? Kind of like the trace_pipe? But trace_pipe is a real consumer.

BTW, can you run your diff with the -p option. This will help in knowing
which function the change is in. There's some hunks where it is
ambiguous. If you use quilt, you can add:

QUILT_DIFF_OPTS='-p'

to you .quiltrc file.
