Hi Yao,

From what I can tell issue 1) is about done ?

On my end we have fast tracepoints for arm almost ready with JIT
conditions and pc relative instructions relocation.

I would like to post that in the next few weeks, but it would be
better if the normal tracepoints were in before that.

Is it a good time to review these patches now?

Thanks,
Antoine
