It is not clear to me *why* this is needed. Please could you
elaborate on the use case of this ? See my questions below.

So, any integer value written to the sysfs knob triggers the rest ?
It may be better to restrict this to "1".

Why is this needed ? Does the DSB device configuration change
on the fly ?

Why is this needed ? Isn't this supposed to be triggered from the "path"
when the trace session is complete ?
