Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] utrace core

1. UTRACE_ATTACH_MATCH_DATA is not used.

2. s/utrace_attached_engine/utrace_engine/g

   Engine which is not attached is either just allocated or scheduled
   for freeing

3. get_utrace_lock() is funny.

   From name one should get valid struct utrace or -E depending only on
   task, why engine matters is a mystery.

4. subsys_initcall

   Just use module_init() or comment why it's needed.

5. Dummy in examiner -- not used (of course!)
