OK, so it doesn't break perf, trace-cmd and rasdaemon, because the enum is
only needed in the print_fmt part. It can handle it in the field portion.

That is:


system: sched
name: sched_switch
ID: 285
format:
	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;

	field:char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];	offset:8;	size:16;	signed:0;
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                          ^^

   ^^^^^^^

Is what requires the conversions. So I take that back. It only breaks
perfetto, and that's because it writes its own parser and doesn't use
libtraceevent.
