[Crash-utility] [PATCH 0/2] extensions/trace: Sync up with v5.8 struct renaming

[HAGIO KAZUHITO(萩尾 一仁)]

Hi Valentin,

Thanks for the patchset.
I've cc'd this to the maintainer of the trace extension.

Xu Huan, could you please review the patchset?

(Apparently, Xu could not respond in March 2019, though.. [1]
Does anyone in Fujitsu know who can maintain this?)

Thanks,
Kazu
