Ok, so what is now at my perf/hists branch at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git

should do the trick, the patch below makes rasd.c use it. I'll try
building rasd.c with it and checking if it works.

Never having tried this, what are the requisites to test it? Some
specific hardware and a kernel with the right tracepoint? I guess some
recent 3.17-rc kernel is all that I need?
