Hi Stefan,
thanks for the support i think that the better way for me is to combine the two
approaches. At this time i want start profiling the disk and network driver
activity. I will submit patches in the case that the trace events that i add
can be useful for others.

Device-specific trace events can provide you more information like the
device's operating state.
Generic trace events like pio/mmio only tell you the address and data
that the guest is reading/writing.
Which is best depends on what you are doing. If you want to observe a
specific device I recommend enabling its device-specific trace events
or adding new ones.
If you add trace events and think they may be useful to others, please
submit patches. For more information, see
