I offered to help although I would like to leverage existing tools as much as possible (doing this well is a LOT of work). I ordered an interface board and it is sitting on my desk. Not all of us can work on this every day or even every week, but that does not mean we are not contributing. When the ftrace stuff kicked off I wanted to wait until it made it in. Then streaming it out to the host is not hard. It did not make sense to me to work on that beforehand. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
