Subjectsystemtap broken by removal of register_timer_hook
Commit ba6fdda4 (profiling: Remove unused timer hook) removed
[un]register_timer_hook due to a lack of upstream users and a belief
that there were no out-of-tree users. However, systemtap uses it and
with that patch applied, some stap scripts fail with

WARNING: "unregister_timer_hook" [/tmp/stapJoLMxD/stap_de6e19eaf7bd94629aba9d6f56cdfca5_8156.ko] undefined!

Unexpected exit of STAP script at ./watch-dstate.pl line 305.

Can the patch be reverted or at least put a warning in place about it
being obsoleted until the systemtap folks come up with a replacement?

Systemtap folk, has his problem already been addressed?
