So are you expecting subsystem maintainers to modify their tracing
code to do this, or is this just the first round of changes you are
making? e.g:

$ grep print_symbolic fs/xfs/xfs_trace.h
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->trans_type, XFS_TRANS_TYPES),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->type, XFS_LI_TYPE_DESC),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->type, XFS_LI_TYPE_DESC),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->type, XFS_IO_TYPES),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->type, XFS_ALLOC_TYPES),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->otype, XFS_ALLOC_TYPES),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->which, XFS_SWAPEXT_INODES),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->format, XFS_INODE_FORMAT_STR),
                  __print_symbolic(__entry->type, XFS_LI_TYPE_DESC),
$

And a quick git grep indicates there are a lot that you haven't
converted in this patchset...

Cheers,

Dave.
