Peter, I know you are really busy, but it would be helpful to know
what you plan to do?

I took a closer look and resolved the conflict by introducing:

static int perf_session__deliver_ordered_event(struct ordered_events *oe,
                                                struct ordered_event *event,
                                                struct perf_sample *sample)
{
         struct perf_session *session =
                         container_of(oe, struct perf_session, ordered_events);

         return perf_session__deliver_event(session, event->event, sample,
                                            oe->tool, event->file_offset);
}

I will send another revision of the patch set, but I am also
considered renaming everything from "itrace" to something more
generic. Possibly "auxtrace" or "hwtrace". Any preferences?
