i will use the IP pointer instead of __FILE__ and __LINE__ then, as a
global identifier for source code points. It's more robust anyways.

about transforming IP values (code addresses) into symbols later:

i guess line info is lost or hard to recover. I can do function name
matching, based on the symbol map [like readprofile], but this isnt enough
for identifying cli()-s and sti()-s in most cases :((

so this looks like trouble :( IP values are not human readable enough
