Sorry I didn't see it on my last mail.
But these headers seem to relate more on "power tracing" rather than "ftrace".
Perhaps these would find a better place on trace/power.h
I guess that could be done on a delta patch as well....


Just for curiosity, do you have an example of trace and/or graph from
this tracer?
