Hmm, when I do:

	$ make arch/x86/kernel/irq.i
	$ astyle arch/x86/kernel/irq.i
	$ grep str__irq_irq_vectors__trace_system_name

  static const char str__irq_vectors__trace_system_name[] = "irq_vectors";
  static struct trace_event_class __attribute__((__used__)) __attribute__((__section__(".ref.data"))) event_class_x86_irq_vector = { .system = str__irq_vectors__trace_system_name, .fields_array = trace_event_fields_x86_irq_vector, .fields = { &(event_class_x86_irq_vector.fields),  &(event_class_x86_irq_vector.fields) }, .raw_init = trace_event_raw_init, .probe = trace_event_raw_event_x86_irq_vector, .reg = trace_event_reg, .perf_probe = perf_trace_x86_irq_vector, };
   static struct trace_event_class __attribute__((__used__)) __attribute__((__section__(".ref.data"))) event_class_vector_config = { .system = str__irq_vectors__trace_system_name, .fields_array = trace_event_fields_vector_config, .fields = { &(event_class_vector_config.fields), &(event_class_vector_config.fields) }, .raw_init = trace_event_raw_init, .probe = trace_event_raw_event_vector_config, .reg = trace_event_reg, .perf_probe = perf_trace_vector_config, };;
[..]

How is it not used?
