Mhh, that's no real reason to add tracepoints all over. There where some

lengthy debates on lkml about inflationary use of tracepoints. Especially

this case where systemtap can provide the same information (btw: for

tracepoints you may also need some userspace tools). Maybe you should start

to improve systemtap. ;) But hey, it is David who decides if he is fine

with your patch.
