Re: [PATCHv2] x86 trace: Fix page fault tracing bug

[Steven Rostedt]

Vince, you probably missed my other emails, as I sent from mutt, and
not my normal email client. I see that mutt uses my own box to send,
and I got these error messages (need to put back sending via my ISP
instead of my local mail server):

>>> vincent.weaver@xxxxxxxxx (after MAIL FROM): 550 5.5.4 <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>... Domain of sender address rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx refused. MX points to hosts without valid addresses. This violates RFC 1035/2181.
