Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] netdev: Add tracepoint to network/driver interface

These patches add tracepoints to network/driver interface.

These tracepoints are helpful to investigate whether a packet passes or not.
For example, when Heart Beat is disconnected, that information is helpful
to investigate the cause is whether driver/device side or not.

An output is below.

As other use case I have, we can get throughput per interface with some sort of
perf scripts. I plan to create it.

Thanks
Koki Sanagi
