Great!

We can surely do that.

Just to clarify: currently this tracepoint is *not* hooked on PI boosting,
as described in the changelog. This tracepoint is about the prio attributes
set by user-space. The PI boosting temporarily changes the task struct prio
without updating the associated policy, which seems rather
implementation-specific and odd to expose.

Thoughts ?
