Yes.

It was originally written by me at Red Hat (thus the "From: Steven
Rostedt (Red Hat)"), and that signed-off-by is from Red Hat Steven.
Then Tzvetomir ported it over to libtraceveent in the kernel tree,
which requires his signed-off-by, and then I pull Tzvetomir's work and
the VMware Steven Rostedt signed it off. ;-)

As Signed-off-by does have some legal meaning for "right to use this
code" I feel it's more than prudent to include both the Red Hat
Steven's signed-off-by as well as the VMware Steven's signed-off-by.

Make sense?
