Subject: [PATCH] mmiotrace: fix buffer overrun detection

When ftrace framework moved to use the ring buffer facility, the buffer
overrun detection was broken after 2.6.27 by commit

commit 3928a8a2d98081d1bc3c0a84a2d70e29b90ecf1c

    ftrace: make work with new ring buffer

    This patch ports ftrace over to the new ring buffer.

The detection is now fixed by using the ring buffer API.

When mmiotrace detects a buffer overrun, it will report the number of
lost events. People reading an mmiotrace log must know if something was
missed, otherwise the data may not make sense.

Ingo, could these two patches still make it into .28?
