Subject: [PATCH 06/17] x86, mpx: trace attempts to find bounds tables


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a bounds table
for a given virtual address range.  This is useful to ensure
that the kernel actually "tried" to free a bounds table versus
times it succeeded.

It might try and fail if it realized that a table was shared
with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.
