Yes I'm aware of that.  I don't care if the delay time is slightly 
higher than normal, I care about knowing exactly why we were sleeping to 
begin with.  I suppose I could leave the accounting part where it is and 
then just fire the tracepoint when it's put on the CPU so we get the 
best of both worlds, but honestly I don't feel like adding the extra 
scheduling latency into the accounting is that big of a deal.  Thanks,

Josef
