Hi Andrew,

Here are the Linux Kernel Markers for 2.6.23-rc3-mm1. It depends on the
"immediate values" and on the "sorted module list" patches.

Andrew, any chance to get this into -mm ASAP so we can have it in
2.6.24?

Just in case anyone wonders what this is usefulfor I've ported my
hacking spu tracing code to it, and if markers get in I'd push a cleaned
up version of this in the tree of the benefit of everyone trying to
follow what's going on in the spufs code.  Similarly I'd like to port
the xfs tracing code over to it which is very helpful in trying to
debug filesystem issues.

Note that in this patch the actual logging code is rather nasty
hand-crafted code lifted from the tcp probe in tree which would benefit
of going away in favour of more general tracing code aswell.

Well, we're trying.  It looks like another release of these patches
will be needed, so I'll have a shot at integrating those.

Judging by the number and severity of the bug reports which seem to be
flying past, 2.6.23 isn't exactly imminent.  And I've been basically
off the air this week due lack of electricity (building work).  And
next week won't be seeing a storm of activity..
