The above three events have the same format. You can save kilobytes of
memory by converting them into a DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and use
DEFINE_EVENT() for each event.

A TRACE_EVENT() macro is really just a wrapper around
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT(). The DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
does the bulk of the work and adds the most memory footprint. By
breaking it apart for several events, it does save memory.

Whenever you can use a single DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() for multiple
events, I strongly suggest doing so.
