Hi Marc-Andre,
Thank you for reviewing the patches.

Did you mean to suggest using trace_ functions for the general use, not only the
failure path. Just want to make sure I understood correctly.
Should the trace file subdirectory (in this case ./hw/remote/) be included into
trace_events_subdirs of meson.build with the condition that CONFIG_MULTIPROCESS is enabled?
Something like
<snip>
config_devices_mak_file = target + '-config-devices.mak'
devconfig = keyval.load(meson.current_build_dir() / target + '-config-devices.mak')
have_multiprocess = 'CONFIG_MULTIPROCESS' in devconfig
if have_multiproces
...'
</snip>
