Hi,

I have been busy lately rewriting the Linux Kernel Markers; not once,
but twice.

The first change I did is to split the branch-over-call into a separate
infrastructure : conditional calls. The markers has been reimplemented
on top of it.

The second change has been done to support arming probes/cond_call
before loading modules which has markers or cond_call() statement in
them : I keep a hash table to know which of these are armed, and I
perform the update in the markers/cond_call data structures at module
load time.

I will be away for 10 days, but I wanted to post these new changes on
ltt-dev right away. I'll post the cond_calls and new markers to LKML when
I come back.

Mathieu
