I don't really think so. At this point the uprobe part is done (next
revision has a comment style fix, that's all). So I'll just wait for
your patches to be acked and applied, then I'll just do a trivial
rebase. This will be easier for everyone at this point, IMO, to not
couple them into a single patch set with two authors.

Hopefully Peter will take those patches through tip/perf/core, though,
so I don't have to wait for mm and tip trees to converge.

Yep, no problem.
