Hehe, thank you :-) I actually do have a recommendation. How about just
passing in "result" and doing:


	TP_printk("pfn %#lx: %s page recovery: %s",
		__entry->pfn,
		__get_str(action),
		__print_symbolic(result, 0, "Ignored",
				1, "Failed",
				2, "Delayed",
				3, "Recovered"))


Now it is hard coded here because trace-cmd and perf do not have a way
to process enums (yet, I need to fix that).

I also need a way to just submit print strings on module load and boot
up such that you only need to pass in the address of the action field
instead of the string. That is also a todo of mine that I may soon
change.
