apart from your tracepoints, is there another tracepoint using this?
I couldn't find any.. I dont think it's a problem.. just wanted to
try it;-)

grrr... i was hoping no one would ask that question. I am not aware of any in tree. We use it locally in custom tracepoints in the networking stack (from what I can tell netdev will not take -- LTTng tried many years ago) and in a couple of klms.

The attached patch is what I used to test (plus our local versions). It is derived from a patch on the 3.4 kernel which allows us to trace address changes.
