Why waste all the effort into passing each individual field. Why not
just pass the structure in and sort it out in the TP_fast_assign()?

The above creates a structure with lots of holes in it. Pack it better.
You want something like:

	__field(u64, mpidr)
	__field(u64, midr)
	__field(u64, info)
	__field(u64, virt_fault_addr)
	__field(u64, phys_fault_addr)
	__field(u32, running_state)
	__field(u32, psci_state)
	__field(u16, err_count)
	__field(u8, affinity)
	__field(u8, version)
	__field(u8, type)
	__field(u8, flags)

The above is a total of 54 bytes. Your original was at a minimum, 64
bytes.
