Hi, Mike,

That git tree doesn't seem to exist.  I did manage to apply your patch
set on top of next-20160415, though.

So... what testing did you do? ;-) I ran into the following problems:
- git clone fails
- yum segfaults
- many blktrace/blkparse issues, including incorrect cpu recorded in
  traces, null task names, and blkparse outputting nothing for a trace
  file several gigabytes in size.

After that, I decided to back out your patches and test the base
linux-next kernel.  That kernel has none of those issues.

So, either I'm missing some dependencies, or I think we've got some
issues to iron out before this thing goes in.  Before I dig any further,
am I missing something?

Cheers,
Jeff
