A lot of work went into making the include/trace/events/*.h be able to
automate the work. Now it seems that we are going to hand code a lot,
and a developer that adds a new system or such will now need to
understand the internals of perf to use it. That was what I strived to
avoid when creating the TRACE_EVENT() macros.
