Thanks, will do.

I tidied up the change log a bit:

    powerpc/pseries: Don't trace hcalls on offline CPUs

    If a cpu is hotplugged while the hcall trace points are active, it's
    possible to hit a warning from RCU due to the trace points calling into
    RCU from an offline cpu, eg:

      RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
      rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1

    Make the hypervisor tracepoints conditional by using
    TRACE_EVENT_FN_COND.
