First, it should be noted that lttng enable-channel allow overriding the subbuffer size. It should be noted that lttng-modules 2.2 is going to output even _more_ events, so I don't think just making the buffers larger by default is the right approach. I think we need to port the "loglevel" from UST to lttng-modules ASAP, and assign a "debug" loglevel to events we don't care about by default. Thoughts ?
