Actually, I thought I had mentioned that KTR_CRITICAL should stay as it is=
=20
(well, and the larger thought about doing away with the entire bitmask=20
concept which no one responded to).  critical_enter/exit are not related in=
=20
the least to KTR_CONTENTION which is used for MUTEX_PROFILING, nor do they=
=20
have anything at all to do with contention of any sort.  If you must stick=
=20
them somewhere, put them in KTR_SCHED instead.  I think scottl@ recently=20
added support to schedgraph for those traces anyway (though I'm not sure if=
=20
they are in his local tree or CVS).

The hardclock trace can probably just be axed entirely as it isn't all that=
=20
useful.
