Has this patch been run by the tracing kernel developers?

And what's the status on merging the persistent_ram stuff in with the
in-kernel api for this type of thing? That should then get rid of this
separate tracing module, or at the least, let it be accepted directly by
the tracing developers and not need to go through staging, right?
