Looks good.

I'm wondering whether we could consolidate tracepoints and s390dbf
usage somehow. These two complement each other in a way (looking at a
live system vs. looking at a crash dump, integration with other parts
of the system), but they currently also cover at least partially
different code paths. Not sure how much sense it makes to have double
coverage at least for a subset of the functionality.
