I have a dummy question on /debug/trace: is it possible to
- use 2+ tracers concurrently?
- run a system script that makes use of a tracer,
  without disturbing the sysadmin's tracer activities?
- access 1 tracer concurrently from many threads,
  with different filter etc. options?

If not currently, will private mounts be a viable solution?

Thanks,
Fengguang
