My instinct is to preserve the consistency by beginning with the the
fields that will be in 90% of the commands: tree id and session id
(tid and sid), which would cause pid to move after sid or after cmd,
but I would prefer to wait on reordering fields and fixing alignment
till we add another set of tracepoints (e.g. in FreeXid, and in
SMB2_open and in the caller of negprot/sessionsetup) - we should then
have a better idea what formatting would make it slightly more
consistent and readable.
