Steve,

AFAIU, this will create all tracepoint code from the ras.h header
in this compilation unit, i.e. aerdrv_errprint.c. It has only one
tracepoint now but with time, as more RAS TPs are being added, it would
make sense to have that CREATE_TRACE_POINTS code at a more central place
in the kernel, right?

And, on configs with PCIEAER disabled, we won't have the TPs available
so the CREATE_TRACE_POINTS thing should be in a compilation unit which
gets included unconditionally, correct?

Thanks.
