Agreed. s/utrace-devel/lkml/.

OK. I'd like to finally do at least something. Please look at the 4 patches
attached.

Unfortunately, I know nothing about these arches, so I can only rely on grep.
But it really looks like nobody except arch/um actually uses DTRACE.

There are also some strange defines in blackfin and m68k, PF_DTRACE_BIT and
PT_DTRACE_BIT, which seems to be unused too. At least I failed to find
anything related in asm. Perhaps I should learn how to cross compile.

Oleg.
