Hyperlight makes use of Rust tracing Spans to trace threads of execution through a Sandbox, this is done primarily throught the instrument macro.

We should explicitly enable a span to continue across a guest->host->guest call chain.

It may be possible to do this using Trace Context Propogator, see here for an example of this

    This has been addressed by #844 which combines host and guest traces to achieve a complete trace
