i've also pulled the ppc/ftrace branch into tip/tracing/powerpc, and 
added it to ftrace-next's linux-next integration rules.

So if Paul gives the green light that the commits have the right 
structure, we can freeze down the branch and the SHA1's and integrate 
it into ftrace-next. (which is integrated in linux-next after the 
powerpc tree so should be all fine in terms of merge ordering)
