Hi Rusty,

This patch doesn't need to be stable, and can wait till v3.15. But I
have other patches that will break with this patch (headers that needed
to include tracepoint.h and not depend on a header chain to include it).

Can you give me your Acked-by for this, and I'll just add it to my 3.15
queue?

Thanks,

-- Steve
