Hi Ingo,

This "tracepoint" infrastructure has been created to answer to Peter's
concerns about trace_mark uglyness. The last comment I had from him when
we discussed the tracepoint idea was "Looking forward to your
proposal..", so I guess it's up to him to decide if tracepoints are
clean enough to live.

I'll submit a revised scheduler instrumentation which turns all
scheduler trace_mark() already in linux-next into tracepoints, with the
same arguments. ftrace will have to be updated accordingly.

Mathieu
