* args: must match the arguments in the prototype.
* Here it is simply "foo, bar".
*
* struct: This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
* There are currently two types of elements. __field and __array.
* a __field is broken up into (type, name). Where type can be any
* type but an array.
* For an array. there are three fields. (type, name, size). The
* type of elements in the array, the name of the field and the size
* of the array.
*
* __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying char foo[10].
*
* fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
* into the ring buffer.
*
* printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
* useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
* the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
*
* Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
* to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
* TP_STRUCT__entry.
