Hello,

Here is a patchset that fixes the Ftrace-induced crash experienced on sparc64
discussed in the following thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/16/2

The third patch changes the Tracepoints to use the more compact alignment scheme
proposed here, even though their alignment on 32-byte works fine. This third
patch is therefore not a fix per se.

The patchset is based on 2.6.37. Hopefully there are not too many things to
update for the current -git.

Comments, flames as well as acclamation are welcome. ;-)

Mathieu
