Pulled.

However, a little note:

>  - Added support for SDT in uprobes

As an explanation, the above kind of sucks. "SDT"? I had to look it
up. I added a note to the commit message, but please, don't use random
acronyms in kernel explanations unless they are industry-standard and
comprehensible to kernel people.

Good acronyms: "TLB", "WTF", "LOL". People know what those mean.
"SDT"? Not so much.
