Conspicuous review of patch from maintainer follows ...

Meta-comment: given we need a userspace tool to read the trace anyway, could we
make this a lot simpler by just letting userspace mmap the trace buffers?

Should depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS at least no?

We usually do __POWERNV_FOO_H for these. But they're all a bit of a mess.

Linux tracepoints defines a bunch of TRACE_FOO macros, obviously REPEAT is the
only one that's likely to clash. But still might be worth namespacing.

So I think start/end/last/rpos/last_repeat are all full virtual addresses right?

We don't have TBUF_SZ.

The comment below is attached to trace_repeat, but it seems like it should go
with hdr no ?

Some lining up of comments would help readability of those.

_p ? pointer, or phys?

I *think* this is only used in opal_trace_read(), so it'd be nice if it was in
there.

Can we just WARN_ON() and bail, seeing as this is for debug. I'd hate to panic
a customer system by dumping the trace buffer.

OK so I understand this now. You have multiple trace buffers, but you don't
care about maintaining that separation. You just merge all the streams here
into a single output stream.

What is a tmask ?

I assume it's some mask of things we want traced?

So I won't say the "b" word, but it'd be nice to have at least a comment on
what the device tree property contains.

Just __va() ? ie. it's already in the linear mapping somewhere?

If tmask_phys was 0, opal_tmask_p is now 0xc00..00, so is that what we want to 
check?
