One warning --- this patch will have a slight patch conflict with the
patch ext4-convert-markers-to-tracepoints in the ext4 patch queue.

The ext4-convert-markers-to-tracepoints patch is also in the unstable
part of the patch queue, since it is waiting for patches allowing
tracepoints to be used in modules to be merged into mainline at the
next merge window. It's a very minor, easy fix-up, but depending who
which patch series gets merged first, there might be a minor fixup
required.
