Sorry, I could not stop myself since I got frustrated over a trivial matter
around this field in these days.  And I could not wait your next post any
more, didn't want to see abandoned "rebased" patch again, so I took this
kind of aggressive violent action in bad manner to push your change.
Sorry again.

I think your patch contains various changes, so how about to break down
this one into small pieces and make patches with proper clearer description.

I believe that the urgent problem can be solved by making the buffer to
per-CPU.  Or do you have any reason to rush it into ring buffer?

Certainly I wrote following line at first:

Since what I want to demonstrate to you was another style of your patch,
I could not provide patches in incremental form as usual.

Thanks,
