Looks good.  Thanks.

Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]>

Andrew, Mathieu is making changes to patch 3/5 referenced above.
When that is done, do you need a resend of all of these samples/
patches or do you have them straight?

Basically we have:
a.  add samples/ infrastructure  (new coming from Mathieu)
b.  add markers to samples/  (Mathieu)
c.  add trace/ to samples/  (this patch from David)
d.  add kprobes/ to samples  (move some from Documentation)
