I would argue that having a module describing a complex portion of the
kernel functions would be useful for not only helping to understand those
functions, but also possibly making it easier to see how they can be
improved upon.

This is one of the motivations I have for modeling the complex portions of
the tracing subsystem. I'm hoping that I can see better ways to perform
these tasks and possibly even improve its performance.
