Looks good, but could you please base this on latest -tip? There's a number of
pending changes in the tracing tree that conflict:

patching file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 34.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c
patching file arch/x86/kernel/process.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 9.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file arch/x86/kernel/process.c
patching file include/linux/ftrace.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 342.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- rejects in file include/linux/ftrace.h
The next patch would create the file include/trace/power.h,
which already exists! Applying it anyway.
patching file include/trace/power.h
Patch attempted to create file include/trace/power.h, which already exists.
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- rejects in file include/trace/power.h
patching file kernel/trace/trace_power.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 14.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 111 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 148 (offset -5 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 183 (offset -6 lines).
1 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file kernel/trace/trace_power.c
