Hi,

Jiaying found I was using a cache-line bouncing per-cpu variable to keep track
of nesting within lttng code (it detects infinite recursing caused by
instrumentation errors). Thanks to the Google them for this finding.

This patchset applies after each single patch in the patchset after the file
with the same prefix. It has been developed for 2.6.27-rc3, but should do fine
for earlier LTTng versions.

Mathieu
