I really don't see the point.. parsing /debug/tracing/events/*/format gunk really is separate, furthermore things like powertop et al already are separate projects and really need this lib.
I mean, who gives a bother where all that crap lives, if its in the kernel tree its all close enough to keep an eye on.. its not like kernel/events/ and kernel/trace/ are the same directory.
Ingo, please could you lighten up and let people get stuff done? Merging the two implementations, wherever the result lives, is a better situation that two dis-joint implementations. So either let Frederic work or do it yourself but don't hand-wave and road-block stuff.
