Subject[PATCH 03/11] trace-cmd: add a function to create a top instance
Date
We need a way to allow external applications to create an instance for doing
their tracing, so add a helper function that takes care of creating an instance,
setting it as the main instance and doing the heavy lifting of creating the
instance in the tracing directory. Thanks,
