We already have all that, AFAICT. Command is enqueued, then an event
triggers for command completion, then we look at results. The only thing
missing for completeness is slot/EP context tracers (which I've pointed
you to) so we can see what changes each command cause to the different
contexts.

Frankly, I don't think printing out context pointers brings
anything. What can you do with that address? :-p Same goes for cmd
pointer, it brings nothing; gives no insight into the problem
whatsoever.

We certainly need to know which command was enqueued, the slot, etc. But
addresses... not so sure.

no need to apologize, you didn't know :-)
