Does event tracing work on ia64 platform?
I spent some time on it over weekend, but was not able even
to force "CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING=y" setting in the .config.
Seems to build ok on x86_64, which does have CONFIG_TRACING
in defconfig, and allows to set CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING.
If tracing is not available on all platforms, especially
on ia64, which is one of preferred platforms at SGI, we need
to preserve the original XFS tracing facilities. I know, it'll
be PIA to keep both tracing methods, but we can't drop
the working feature without good replacement.
Hope, though, that I missed something on ia64, and it's
fixable.
