Cover letter [patch 0/3] Linux Kernel Markers Fixes

Hi Andrew,

Here are some fixes for the Linux Kernel Markers present in 2.6.24-rc2-git3. There is a code path (module load) that may update markers without holding the markers mutex, si I fixed that. The rest is just an tiny documentation improvement.

The patchset applies on top of 2.6.24-rc2-git3 in this order:

#for -mm
markers-fix-markers-mutex-upon-module-load.patch
markers-document-markers-format-strings.patch
markers-fix-example-format-string.patch

They should be merged in mainline before 2.6.24 final (especially the mutex fix).

Mathieu
