Sure, I’ll do that in v2. Thanks!

Also, I guess I should have mentioned that the tracepoint added
at the end of the compaction code wasn’t just for deriving latency information. 
rc and *contended would give us the result of the compaction attempted, 
which I thought would be useful.

I get that begin/end tracepoints aren’t required here, but how about having
trace_mm_compaction_try_to_compact_pages moved to the end to 
include compaction status?
