Perhaps you could build that into the event class definition as well
so each separate class in a subsystem can be placed in it's own
sub-directory?
That would make turning on and off specific classes trace points so
much simpler than it now, espcially for XFS where we now have > 250
tracepoints that are mostly defined by event classes already...
