Do we really need to use "guard()" for a single line function? Why make the
compiler do more work?

static notrace void							\
trace_event_raw_event_##call(void *__data, proto)			\
{									\
	preempt_disable_notrace();					\
	do_trace_event_raw_event_##call(__data, args);			\
	preempt_enable_notrace();					\
}

Is more readable.
