I didn't intend to imply that upstream LTTng is responsible for keeping
patches working in a downstream project like OE.  I mentioned OE because
that's how my attention was drawn to this change.

If the $2 argument has a legitimate use, I suggest that it be made a bit
more clear since 1) the commit that introduced it didn't mention it at
all, and 2) no code in-tree actually makes use of the extra argument.

I figured it was likely a mistake.
