    Kernel debugging: remove kernel markers, LLTng...
    
    - Not enough details, and apparently not in so
      much use today anyway
    - Should cover 'perf' and 'ftrace' instead
      (Added to our todo list)

-  \frametitle{Kernel Markers}
-  \begin{itemize}
-  \item Capability to add static markers to kernel code.
-  \item Almost no impact on performance, until the marker is
-    dynamically enabled, by inserting a probe kernel module.
-  \item Useful to insert trace points that won't be impacted by
-    changes in the Linux kernel sources.
-  \item See marker and probe example in \code{samples/markers} in the
-    kernel sources.
-  \item See \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_marker}

-  \item \url{http://lttng.org}
-    \begin{itemize}
-    \item The successor of the Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT)
-    \item Toolkit allowing to collect and analyze tracing information
-      from the kernel, based on kernel markers and kernel tracepoints.
-    \item So far, based on kernel patches, but doing its best to use
-      in-tree solutions, and to be merged in the future.
-    \item Very precise timestamps, very little overhead.
-    \item Useful documentation on \url{http://lttng.org/documentation}

-  \begin{itemize}
-  \item Viewer for LTTng traces
-    \begin{itemize}
-    \item Support for huge traces (tested with 15 GB ones)
-    \item Can combine multiple tracefiles in a single view.
-    \item Graphical or text interface
