Subject: Files in include/trace/events

Hi Chuck,

I was just looking over some files in include/trace/events/ and noticed
that there's sunrpc_base.h, fs.h and nfs.h that are not event files.

The include/trace/events/ directory should only hold files that are to
create events, not headers that hold helper functions.

Can you please move them out of include/trace/events/ as that directory
is "special" in the creation of events.

Perhaps we could create a new directory include/linux/trace/ or
include/trace/linux/ specific for these types of files?

Thanks!
