 * This is the core of the buffer management. Each
 * CPU buffer is processed and entered into the
 * global event buffer. Such processing is necessary
 * in several circumstances, mentioned below.
 *
 * The processing does the job of converting the
 * transitory EIP value into a persistent dentry/offset
 * value that the profiler can record at its leisure.
 *
 * See fs/dcookies.c for a description of the dentry/offset
 * objects.
