Thanks for reminding me. No that was going to be a separate patch (it
interleaves with ftrace but is a different entity - developed by two

I knew someone would comment on this comment. Yes, it is an odd comment
stye. The comment is showing "code" that the macro produces. Thus, I
used the '//' to be a comment in the code comment. ;)
