Hi All,
	The following set of patches a)Implant marker probes in futex.c
and b)define a sample use-case for the markers in futex.

The marker handler patches also make use of the enhancements proposed to
the 'trace' infrastructure i.e. debugfs_printk() interface.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/15/117

The patches are generated over 2.6.25-rc8-mm1 and have been tested on an
i386 machine.
 
Thanks,
K.Prasad
