Subject: [PATCH] Fix: anonymous unions in struct ftrace_event_call

gcc <= 4.5.x has significant limitations with respect to initialization
of anonymous unions within structures. They need to be surrounded by
brackets, _and_ they need to be initialized in the same order in which
they appear in the structure declaration.
