Hi Matthew,

Thanks for this great work. Here some comments for UstStartUpGuide.html:

- User Space v0.12 --> v0.15 ??

-  I think using numbers in titles would be a good idea since the table of
contents uses number and maybe use section number like "5.1 UST marker functions"

- "UST is open source and free", this section, I think also providing a link to
the LGPL license would be good.

- libUST --> libust

- "MariaDB and KVM already have fully instrumented", not KVM but "QEMU"

- In "How Do We Install UST?", your example is using $HOME. You must be careful
since this is *not* a standard location to install libraries and headers on
Linux system. Guide like this are usually the "normal use case" people should
use to I think simply "./configure" would be fine here. If they want custom
paths, "./configure --help" :).

- UST marker, trace_mark is now "ust_marker". trace_mark still works but is
DEPRECATED. The "channel" is not used anymore with ust_marker.

- trace_mark_tp does not exist anymore...

That's it for now :)

Cheers!
David
