No explicit dependency. It's just a conflict in how ptrace options
are set, defined, and masked (and STOP being renumbered). Other than
the ptrace changes, the whole series patches cleanly onto both trees.
The resolved version is less code and easier to read, so I don't
suspect it'll be a challenge at all.
