This is not what you do now, but on previous patch, right?  Let's modify the
mesage appropriately.

Mention changes of versions on cover letter.

Why we add this on first patch, and then remove here?  Let's not make
unnecessary temporal change.  It only increase review time.

Separate traceevent change into another patch.

Unnecesary change.

As also mentioned on the reply to the first patch, I think this patch can
significantly changed if you agree to my opinion about the flow of patches that
I mentioned on the reply to the cover letter.  Hence, stopping review from here
for now.  Please let me know if you have a different opinion.


Thanks,
SJ
