Could you please extract the sh bits from 11ebca4a so that we can
apply it to tip/tracing/* standalone? It makes sense to carry it
without having the other bits of the SH changes.
It will collide in linux-next but it will be a same-content collision
with an easy enough (perhaps even automatic) resolution.
