Could you please extract the sh bits from 11ebca4a so that we can 
apply it to tip/tracing/* standalone? It makes sense to carry it 
without having the other bits of the SH changes.

It will collide in linux-next but it will be a same-content collision 
with an easy enough (perhaps even automatic) resolution.
