thanks David!

Also, my prior offer to help out with the TRACE_EVENT conversion 
stands as well, plus more TRACE_EVENT() tracepoints would be welcome 
too in the networking code.

It's a very useful feature and they are a lot easier (and more 
decentralized) to add than new tracing plugins.

Thanks,
