Hi Mathieu,

I finished a simple ltt-control.ko based on debugfs.

With this module, we can control ltt by following command now:
Start trace1 channel:
echo "0 trace1" > /sys/kernel/debug/ltt_control/control
Stop trace1 channel:
echo "1 trace1" > /sys/kernel/debug/ltt_control/control
Create trace1 channel:
echo "2 trace1 relay 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" > /sys/kernel/debug/ltt_control/control
Destroy trace1 channel:
echo "3 trace1" > /sys/kernel/debug/ltt_control/control

I tested it on i386 linux 2.6.27 with lttng.

User-mode lttctl also needs some modification to support this kind of control,
but at first, I'd like to hear some advice on this module.

Thanks!
