Please reconsider.  Ingo mistook what was being proposed.  We request
merge/integration testing for just the set of patches posted
<http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/17/466>, which was in response to
peterz's earlier review comments, and none of which is labeled or
considered RFC or experimental.

Ananth was right that the utrace-ptrace git branch represents this
rather than master.
