Steven,
Is there any reason you can think of why we don't just generalize kernel/trace/ring_buffer into kernel/ring_buffer, remove the static per_cpu buffer allocation and have this available for non-tracing?
As it is, trace buffers only store generic data and the design (swap on read) is very nicely done for many other ring buffer uses.
Jon.
