OK, so we had better move include/ras/ras_event.h under include/trace/events.
I'll do this in a separate work.

It seems that if we do both of these, I hit the following error:

    CC      drivers/ras/ras.o
  In file included from include/trace/events/ras_event.h:327,
                   from drivers/ras/ras.c:13:
  include/trace/define_trace.h:83:43: error: ./ras_event.h: No such file or directory

, so I guess it's enough to do either.

OK, so it seems that the root cause of the original error is a wrong
dependency among CONFIGs.
CONFIG_RAS should depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE, but that is not true
(CONFIG_RAS=n and CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE=y in Randy's .config.)
This problem is visible when CONFIG_X86_64=n and CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=n (and all
other dependencies of CONFIG_RAS from ACPI_EXTLOG/PCIEAER/EDAC are false).
I'll fix such dependency.
