This looks good, we should definitely have a remap trace at that level
too. Apart from that, nothing further to add than acking the observation
that you need to make the ->device_to part of the trace endian clean.

If you resend with that and just send the core bit (the dm part should
go through the dm branch), then I'll include it for 2.6.32.
