Well, the idea for the ras event was to be able to use it in multiple
places. It is currently used only by EDAC but it could be that memory
errors could be reported by other agents which would reuse that TP.

So I'm guessing that every .c file including the TP should also -I
include the TP definition header wherever it is. Is that agreeable?
