I think I get that the above changes work because the TP_STRUCT__entry for
these did:
	__string(memdev, dev_name(&cxlmd->dev))
	__string(host, dev_name(cxlmd->dev.parent))

For the above 2, there was no helper in TP_STRUCT__entry. A recently
posted patch is fixing that up to be __string(region, NULL) See [1],
with the actual assignment still happening in TP_fast_assign.

Does that assign logic need to move to the TP_STRUCT__entry definition
when you merge these changes? I'm not clear how much logic is able to be
included, ie like 'C' style code in the TP_STRUCT__entry.
