Here's the #'s

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
7489488	2249584	9719808	19458880	128eb40	vmlinux-prepatch
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
7482458	2248048	9719808	19450314	128c9ca	vmlinux-postpatch
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
7477393	2248080	9719808	19445281	128b621	vmlinux-updatedpatch

Thus we get an additional 5k it seems, for a total of 13k savings.

The below patch is what I used. Note, since the tracepoint requires the
instruction pointer, I created stub versions that call a "do_" version
of the function to pass in the local instruction counter.

Rusty, can you give your acked-by on that patch?

Thanks!
