I thought the duration was in usec, but it seems not, it's in nsec, hmm.
Then this exceeding 10/100 usec is not meaningful - what about increaing
numbers in the conditional so that it can match to the comment?  That
will eliminate the need of the patch 2.

Also I think msecs_str in trace_print_graph_duration() should be renamed
to usecs_str.

Thanks,
Namhyung
