Oh, one more thing I keep forgetting to mention to you. Your subject
lines :-)

I converted it to be:

 tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free

only the subsystem tag should be used. Not a "Fix" tag. But the "Fix"
may be used in the subject itself. Also, I've been told that Linus
prefers to have the subject written more like a sentence and the first
character capitalized.
