As far as I can recall, Xenmon doesn't explicitly rely on the trace 
mask. Its only use to xenmon is if too many trace events are generated, 
then you can use the trace mask to reduce the volume. But I think the 
xenmon related trace events are numbered more-or-less sequentially, so a 
mask isn't very useful for picking which ones you'd like to see. But you 
can use the trace mask to turn off xenmon related events if you are just 
interested in vmx events, for instance.
