My bigger issue with this whole series is what would this all look
like if every SoC vendor upstreamed their own custom dumping
mechanism. That would be a mess. (I have similar opinions on the
$soc-vendor hypervisors.)

I agree with Rob's stance.

I think it would be useful to get input from the hwtracing developers
(Alexander and Mathieu) who faced this "necessarily different" issue
with all the hwtrace mechanisms and found a way out of it. I suspect
they can have an idea of how this should be abstracted.

Any mailing list you suggest we expand to so that we get inputs from the 
hwtracing developers and maintainers or just look into the MAINTAINERS 
file and start an email thread?

We are fine to submit the abstract for the LPC in next two weeks, but 
prefer to have lot of good discussion before it on the mailing list, so 
that we have code to talk about in LPC.
