Yes, will do.

Sometimes there is a boost of records, like set_p2m_entry and the like.
They all happen on the same cpu, so the per_cpu buffer fills up quickly.
And thats what I'm debugging right now. Too bad, tracing adds overhead
so the bug disappears. So, back to reading source code and find the race
that way.
