Why would /dev be correct?

What's wrong with the existing tracing infrastructure that you need to
create a new one?

Your pid implementation is broken, see my other email about that :(

And again, what's wrong with the existing tracing functionalty that is
processor agnostic? Why can't we just delete this driver today and use
the existing trace code?
