Status of kernel marker support

[Vara Prasad]

I am forwarding this to Mathieu just in case he is not following the 
SystemTap mailing list. Please include him in future markers discussion.

Mathieu, as you can see we are adding the support for markers in the 
SystemTap and also trying to add markers patches to the kernel.
Are we using the latest version of the markers patch or do you have more 
updated versions?
If we find bugs while using markers can we open them in the SystemTap 
bugzilla?

Thanks,
Vara Prasad
