Actually, some of these documents I was thinking of labeling as "obsolete" or simply removing them. The ftrace-design one is about how to port ftrace to other architectures, and I already had to correct people that based their work on it. Yeah, I really need to get some time to update them, but like everyone else, that's just the 90th thing I have to do. -- Steve
