I'm also wondering if it's better to have :

filemap.h
fs.h
hugetlb.h
ipc.h
ipv4.h
ipv6.h
irq.h
kernel.h
memory.h
net.h
page.h
sched.h
swap.h
timer.h

all in include/trace/ or to create subdirectories first, like :

include/trace/net/
include/trace/mm/
...

or to go the other way around and re-use the existing subdirectories :

include/net/trace/
include/mm/trace/
...

?

Mathieu
