Lets just accept that this is the order in which I wrote the patch
series and tested it. It has been rebased, rewritten and reordered
several times now in the last month. And I got bitten already once by
committing something out of order and introducing a bug.
All I wanted to start with was some dwarf string functions to help write
better error messages for systemtap when we encounter unhandled DWARF
constants in the translator. The reviews have been very helpful and we
even cleaned up some code, fixed some bugs and added some functionality.
But lets now just get this patch series done instead of trying to create
the perfect patch commit reordering.
Thanks,
Mark
