Well, I either need that or I need a way of having a TP_PRINTK_PRE()
and TP_PRINTK_POST() so I can drop in the rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock() where needed.  Or I need a TP_PRINTK_DELCARE() so I
can declare the temporary buffer, and we can go down that route.

I haven't been following all of the e-mail threads about the include
hell problem; what are the issues, exactly?  What's the problem with
simply including <linux/rcuupdate.h>, and any needed prequisites in
ftrace.h?
