Thanks!

Assuming Steve is also happy with the series, I assume one of you two will pick
this up and fold those in.

I've folded all those tags in my local branch (and pushed that to my
ftrace/ops-sample branch on kernel.org), so if you'd prefer I post a v3 with
those I'm quite happy to do so.

Thanks,
Mark.
