I ported it to one of our kernels with the intent of asking perf folks
to have a go at it (after some manual smoke testing maybe). It will
take a couple of weeks or so to get numbers back.

Do you need specific additional info to possibly be collected while
running? I saw your reply about usage. If you want to agree on what to
collect feel free to send out the debug patch I guess you used for that.

Going of course to also play with it myself and holler if I find any
issue.

Best,
Juri
