[PATCH] Linux Kernel Markers 0.15 for 2.6.17

[Mathieu Desnoyers <compudj at krystal dot dyndns dot org>]

Hi,

This is a bugfix release only. Only the patch is submitted here, see the
previous post for the probe and test modules.

- Fix marker_set_probe_range to set all the markers with the same function
  pointer to "enable". If a module declares the same marker more than once,
  under the "optimized" version of the markers, the function pointer is only
  declared once, but the immediate values for the "enable" must be changed on
  every site. It did not affect the "generic" flavour of the markers (0.14)
  because both the function pointer and the enable value are the same memory
  location for multiple markers with the same name.
- Typo fix ("if(" -> "if (")

Mathieu
