Regardless if this helps systemtap or not, I like the patch because the
current code is rather ugly, and this patch makes it more readable.

Suggestion: change the topic to remove systemtap, as that's not going to be
the true reason for acceptance of this patch. It should just be about
cleaning up the trace event itself.
