Reading this doc, I think most of information are still useful for undertading the
implemeation. So how abount just put a caution at the begining of doc as below
defore get updated?
http://docservice.askxiong.com/linux-kernel/trace/ftrace-design.html

Anyway, I just converted them all. I will send them out. Please comemnt if some
of them should be removed.
