Yes, this reverts 20 patches. But they only touch the ptrace/stop paths,
there won't be more changes in this area until 3.1.

In any case, this series should be dropped when fedora switches to 3.1.
I'll try to do something more "clever" for 3.1 if utrace is still needed.
Until then we need something for systemtap...
