| | If we include this in any of the 100+ trees that Stephen sucks

| | Ingo has so and so does others so getting it into -next

| Sam, to be clear, you mean that I could put this stuff into general
| include/linux/linkage.h with general names as ENTRY/END and the same
| for KPROBE so it could be merged into -next tree for testing? If yes,
| that as I said there will be a lot of errors so build will stuck in
| a moment 'cause of unbalanced ENTRY. Not sure if it's a good idea :)

Did I understand you right? It's highly possible I could translate
message the wrong way somime.
