If that means we don't carry utrace.patch at all anymore once it's
accepted, then maybe yes.  Speaking bluntly, that's the immediate goal
to get us one step closer to upstream.

However, utrace and uprobes are different things.  Are we going to drop
the utrace parts as soon as uprobes are in and basically give up on
that effort?
