[RFC][PATCH 03/10] tracing: Add an 'accessor' function to ftrace_event_field

[Tom Zanussi]

For grabbing the contents of an event field from a trace record, it
would be useful to associate a field-specific accessor function with
an event field.  This defines an accessor prototype and adds an
accessor field to struct ftrace_event_field for that purpose.
