Subject: 3rd request for review & addition of PTI/n_trace implementation into kernel

Apologies for a long delay between submission attempts- this is the 3rd request
for review and acceptance into the mainline kernel for the Intel-Atom
implementation of the MIPI P1149.7 compact JTAG
standard for mobile devices.  Complete documentation and background
has been provided in PATCH 02/12, "Kernel documentation for the PTI
feature".  PATCH 01/12 is a kernel fix to allow the PTI driver
to compile modularly; this is a fix Greg KH, Alan Cox, and Arjan
van de Ven and I talked about a while ago.  It's not techincally
related to PTI, but it is it's own separate patch so it can be
applied independent of any possible problems with the PTI submission.

Changes/fixes from last review include:
-lock acquire and release same ordering in n_tracesink and n_tracerouter
-variable renaming in pti.c
-elimination of one variable not used in pti.c
-patch groups submissions in logical, independent chunks instead one
 file per patch.
-use of linux-next instead of linux-stable for patch base
-Kconfig descriptions appearing in patch descriptions for
 pti and n_tracesink/n_tracerouter, as requested.

Thanks for your help and time. Regards,
J Freyensee
