How is this triggering this build problem?  I didn't see this happen
before, and it wasn't showing up in linux-next in the past, right?

This patch has nothing to to with tracing, perhaps it is an #include
file problem?  Or is the build error a different one (remember the
-Werror problem in linux-next that I fixed up for PPC?)
