Actually, some of these documents I was thinking of labeling as
"obsolete" or simply removing them. The ftrace-design one is about
how to port ftrace to other architectures, and I already had to correct
people that based their work on it.

Yeah, I really need to get some time to update them, but like everyone
else, that's just the 90th thing I have to do.
