Thanks for the sharing, this is a good approach to capture dynamic
behaviors. But a dump of current state has below advantages:
1. a quick view for the pending transfers. Then we can quickly 
     checking the transfer status.
2. no side-effect. This is important in some case. We usually
    encounter some transfer issues but very hard to reproduce
    it. But we cannot enable trace all the time since performance
    concern. Then I thought it was so great if I can have a look for
    the trb status. :)
