Subject: [PATCH 0/2] tracing: Add and use event_command parsing func helpers

With more event commands being implemented, it's been pointed out that
it would make sense to clean up the existing ones and make it easier
to implement new ones without copying a lot of boilerplate.  The main
culprit here is the event_command.func() callback - the rest of the
event_command infrastructure has default implementations that work for
most implementations.  The func() callback is a little different in
that every new command needs to customize parsing to some extent.

This patchset attempts to help clean that up and make it easier for
new users to deal with.
