[PATCH 2/3] USB: make hub.h public (drivers dependency), linux-2.6.34-rc5-git5
The usbcore headers: hcd.h and hub.h are shared between usbcore, HCDs and a couple of other drivers (e.g. USBIP modules).

This patch moves hub.h from drivers/usb/core into include/linux... 24 Apr 2010 18:20

perf: Add a perf trace option to check samples ordering reliability
Hi Frederic, Frederic Weisbecker wrote: To ensure sample events time reordering is reliable, add a -d option to perf trace to check that automatically.
