Ok.  To be more precise, this patch has two properties that other patches
of the "make later patches easier to apply" class tend not to:

 * it introduces a significant functional change (adding tracepoints)
 * it would have been very easy to skip

Have fun, and sorry for not explaining my reasoning before.
