It's fine with me to have this included in the SH tree as well. The
process.c files tend to be frequently modified in architectures so
having overlap between tip/tracing and the SH tree could become
awkward to Paul.

Also, if there's some current use of these markers then it's OK to
not do this change right now but replace them with tracepoints in
the v2.6.31 merge window, after both the SH and the tracing
infrastructure changes are upstream.
