Would it be easy to add dummy sources to control data coming from other ETM sources not controlled by the kernel.
Also I want the ability to have multiple sinks enabled at one time and just control the flow from the sources to direct where the data goes.
Not that clear but I hope you understand :)

Subject: CoreSight framework and drivers

This RFC is aimed at introducing CoreSight framework as well as
individual CoreSight trace component drivers adhering to ARM
CoreSight specification. Some prior discussion on this can be
referred at [1].

There are 3 kinds of CoreSight trace components:

* Sources: Responsible for producing trace data to provide
  visibility for the associated entity.

* Links: Transport components that carry trace data.

* Sinks: Collectors for storing trace data or acting as conduits
  for off-chip trace data collection.

These components can be connected in various topologies to suite
a particular SoCs tracing needs.

Framework is responsible for gathering and using the information
about the registered CoreSight components and their connections
to allow it to dynamically deduce the sequence of components
representing a connection from a CoreSight source to the
currently selected CoreSight sink. This helps the framework to
program the correct set of components to satisfy user request.
