commit 4ac0fd48e2924574c0046729e589f3c450e8bec4
Author: Torvald Riegel <triegel@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 30 17:05:44 2015 +0200

    Remove documentation of lowlevellock systemtap probes.
    
    The probes are not provided on all architectures (and only partially by the
    x86 assembly implementation), and we are not aware of actual uses of these
    probes.
    a need for them.
