Heh, i'm used to getting perfect patches from you :) Also, 
documentation is always lagging behind so every little piece helps, 
and it's not like it can actually break anything in the kernel.

Yeah, i did that. I also fixed up a few other small details no-one 
pointed out.

No need to resend.

Btw., you mention ext4 and jbd2 new-style tracepoints in the text. 
Does this mean you already have them coded up (i havent seen any 
patch posting from you), just that you cannot push it upstream yet 
because ext4 can be a module? We'll have modular new-style 
tracepoints soon.
