Subject: [PATCH][GIT PULL][2.6.36] tracing: Clean up seqfile code for
 format file


Ingo,

Li sent a patch that does a cleaner processing of the format file. It
removes a hack that is used to notify the show part of the seqfile
formatting that a newline needs to be used.

Li's solution is cleaner and is better for the release.

    tracing: Clean up seqfile code for format file
    
    Remove the nasty hack that marks a pointer's LSB to distinguish common
    fields from event fields. Replace it with a more sane approach.
