BPF introspection work depends on these patches. I have been hopping 
between perf tree and bpf-next tree. I think basing the series up on 
bpf-next plus these patches leads least conflicts. 

I do plan to send the series within next week. 

On a second thought, maybe I should send based on perf tree, and worry
about the conflicts later? It is really heavier on perf side. 

Thanks,
