I very much like the overall change!!!
Please see below for some comments. I have provided a patch
(untested!) corresponding to my comments -- if you agree, please resubmit
your original combined with my patch, along with any needed adjustments.
Thanx, Paul

Need a comment saying why it is safe to do this with no obvious

Yeah, English has some really stupid spelling rules: "receive" rather
than "recieve". And yes, there is a list of exceptions for words adopted
from the German language. I cannot defend the rules, but I will go crazy
staring at RCU implementation code that violates the indefensible rules,
so I must insist. :-/
Hence my patch on your patch...

We need to keep the above line, otherwise it will look like the CPU
going offline ate some callbacks and the destination CPU created some
out of thin air. Some of your changes to the tracing output code must
therefore be backed out.
