[PATCH] support lookup table for regular kernel markers

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is a patch for supporting regular kernel markers
which I posted on LKML. This is for explaining how
new c-style format can be used on systemtap/other tracers.

runtime/regular-marker.format is a lookup table for
regular kernel markers. This file has pairs of
c-style format and printf-style format as below;

<marker name><c-style format>:<printf-style format>

Module.markers provides marker names and c-style formats,
so systemtap can look up corresponding printf-style formats
from this file. So, we can use printf-format parser for
regular kernel markers.

Even if the kernel updates its format, what we have to do is
just add new pairs.

Thank you,
