[patch 00/26] Instrumentation Support Enhancement (2.6.24-rc8-mm1)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi Andrew,

Here are the latest instrumentation support enhancements. These include :

* Markers support for proprierary modules
  (this is an updated version of the one I sent earlier, nothing big, just a
  small fuzz checked and refreshed)
* Instrumentation menu removal
* Text Edit Lock
* Immediate Values
* Linux Kernel Markers use Immediate Values

This patchset is fully bissectable, so if, for instance, someone is not happy
with the last functionnality (Linux Kernel Markers use Immediate Values), it can
be left out and the rest is completely usable as is.

Which apply on top of 2.6.24-rc8-mm1 in this order :
