Hi Jason,

If you are in the process of rewriting the LTTng instrumentation from
scratch, please have a look at the git tree first, at least as an
inspiration source, otherwise we will end up tring to merge two subtily
different sets of instrumentation into the mainline.

Please see :

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/compudj/linux-2.6-lttng.git

Thanks,

Mathieu
