    Subject[for-linus][PATCH 5/7] tracing: Set user_events to BROKEN
    From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

    After being merged, user_events become more visible to a wider audience
    that have concerns with the current API. It is too late to fix this for
    this release, but instead of a full revert, just mark it as BROKEN (which
    prevents it from being selected in make config). Then we can work finding
    a better API. If that fails, then it will need to be completely reverted.
