I have a few questions on this patch series:

Should the agent, umad, and SMP trace points also be checked for being
enabled as the send and receive ones are ?

What is the overhead of the trace enabled check when the trace points
are off ? Are there MAD performance numbers with tracing off before and
after these patches ?

Does this work with RMPP ? Was this tested with RMPP responses such as
SA GetTableResp ?

Should GSI MAD trace points include the GRH if it's present ?

Thanks.
