We should absolutely agree on one way to represent block device for
tracers. At this point xfs, gfs2 and the block tracer all use
major/minor. I agree that having a name would be nicer for text output,
but I really want to keep the dev_t for the binary output. We should
also make sure we agree on a field name so that filtering will work
the same for all block-related tracers (especially important if we want
to trace something from the filesystem down to the block layer).
