Hello, Mathieu

Thanks for your revice and merge.

IMHO, It is ugly, one of reason is because we use "offset of channel's pointer in ltt_trace_struct"
as ltt_active_marker.channel.

I think we can use other way to link a channel to marker, for example:
set ltt_active_marker.channel = struct ltt_channel_struct *.
or
set ltt_active_marker.channel = enum ltt_channels.

We can change it at same time we make channel dynamic(user can create new channel).

B.R.
