Ok, let's face it: this is just a single trace_mc_error tracepoint,
nothing else. Let's drop the HERM bullshit bingo and call the thing by
it's name: "Add yet another tracepoint to report DRAM ECC errors".

This last paragraph has nothing to do with the patch so it can go.

Ok, event classes are for sharing tracepoints which have the same
TP_PROTO, TP_ARGS.. etc arguments as Steven's (CCed) article on lwn
points out.
I don't see this here and besides, why in the hell would you need a
trace event which only announces that the mechanism starts?? A common,
run-of-the-mill printk is more than enough here.
