I'm not sure what these are.  git log is not particularly
illuminating.  gtraceview.c and some of the commit messages talk about
"Cx events" or "x86 Cx" and there is an Intel copyright notice, but
not Intel email addresses.

There is also some discussion of xentrace in the source code.

Are these the only in-tool consumer of some kind of hypervisor
-generated or -mediated data ?  If so it should be retained IMO, or
the corresponding hypervisor code removed too.

I have added George to the CC in the hope that he may know more...

Thanks,
Ian.
