I wonder if we should name the file "reset" to not be confusing to users
when they cat the file and it doesn't produce any output.  
My idea was to keep the exact same interface as the rest of the tracing. I could
keep that /trace file for compatibility and add /reset?

"cat trace" could also just returns a text like *** not supported *** ?
If it's never going to be supported, I rather not add it. It not being
there is a sure way of knowing it's not supported. Just adding it because
the normal system has it is actually worse if it doesn't behave the same.
