Couple of things.

1) A change like this should always be directly before the patch that
requires it. This is patch 5, and it's not until patch 8 that this
change is required. Please keep them next to each other. This should
have been patch 7.

2) trace_profile_int() is confusing. I keep thinking it's doing
something with integers. Call it do_trace_profile().

Thanks!
