XRay is a function call tracing system which combines compiler-inserted
instrumentation points and a runtime library that can dynamically enable
and disable the instrumentation.

Research and port XRay to the NetBSD kernel getting DTrace-like features
of dynamic tracing.

Milestones:

* Compile the NetBSD kernel with XRay instrumentation
* Write from scratch an XRay runtime for the kernel
* Export handlers for the XRay management to userland
