My point is that if we are going to be changing the way we record
task->comm in the events, might as well do the change I've been wanting to
do for years. I'd hold off on the sched_switch event, as that's the one
event (and perhaps sched_waking events) that user space may be have
hardcoded how to read it.

I would be interested in changing it, just to see what breaks, so I would
know where to go fix things. But keep it a separate patch so that it could
be easily reverted.
