But we would need to extend the user MAD interface to support snooping,
right?  How easy would that be to slot in?

Another option would be to rip out all the MAD snooping stuff from the
core and replace it with something based on the kernel's tracing
infrastructure -- that would give us both a low-tech shell-based version
of madeye (based on just using the pretty-printed ASCII dumps from the
kernel trace stuff) and also allow for higher-tech userspace code to do
smarter processing based on the binary trace interface.
