[RFC PATCH 2/21] relay - Make the relay sub-buffer switch codereplaceable.

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Oct 16 2008 - 02:12:52 EST


With this patch, tracers now have complete control over the relay
write (or reserve) path if they choose to do so, by implementing their
own version of the sub-buffer switch function (switch_subbuf()), in
addition to their own local write/reserve functions. Tracers who
choose not to do so automatically default to the normal behavior.
