It's cheap to add as many tracepoints as we like - but may be costly to maintain.
Especially if we have to tinker with them later to adjust which things are logged,
that puts a burden on user-space tools to be updated to adapt to the changing
API.

Mauro has written his user-space tool to process the ghes-edac events:
  git://git.fedorahosted.org/rasdaemon.git

Who is writing the user space tools to process the new apei tracepoints
you want to add?

I'm not opposed to these patches - just wondering who is taking the next step
to make them useful.
