Hi,

Since we already have the Instrumentation menu in
kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation and instrumentation code all over the
kernel tree:

arch/*/oprofile/*.c
kernel/kprobes.c
arch/*/kernel/kprobes.c
kernel/marker.c
kernel/profile.c
kernel/lockdep.c
vm/vmstat.c
block/blktrace.c

We could move them to

instrumentation/
arch/*/instrumentation/

Therefore, we could also move the kprobes and marker samples under

instrumentation/samples/

I submit these patches for review/comments, especially about kernel build
integration. instrumentation/ is currently a core-y and arch/*/instrumentation/
is a drivers-y because of oprofile.

Mathieu
