Ugh so yesterday I copy/pasted the definition and still got an error, which I
probably didn't read closely enough. I assumed that if it needs the full
definition of "struct trace_print_flags" here to know the size, it would also
need to know the lenght of the array as well.
But now it works. Well, copy/pasting the definition fails as long as both
headers are included and it's redefining the struct (even though it's the same
thing). But looks like I can move it from trace_events.h to tracepoint.h and it
won't blow off (knock knock).
I suck at C.
