Hrm, looking at this again, I notice that there is a single DEFINE_EVENT
using net_dev_template_simple.

We could simply turn netif_receive_skb_list_exit into a TRACE_EVENT(),
remove the net_dev_template_simple, and rename the net_dev_template_return
to net_dev_template ?

It's pretty clear from the prototype that it expects a "ret" argument,
so I don't see the need to also state it in the template name.

Thanks,

Mathieu
