Hmm, good question.

Yo, Steve, is there a way to do conditional things in a TP?

For example:

@@ -83,7 +87,8 @@ TRACE_EVENT(mce_record,
                __entry->walltime,
                __entry->socketid,
                __entry->apicid,
-               __entry->microcode)
+               __entry->microcode,

	if (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_AMD)
		__print_array(__get_dynamic_array(v_data), __entry->len / 8, 8))

i.e., print that array only when on a AMD.

I'm sure this won't fly as it is macro magic - this is just to show the
intent...

Thx.
