Well, no.
This started as "Steven you must be crazy to think someone is using
trace_printk". That is not the case. There should be no in-tree users as
nothing should use it - there are trace events for regular users.
So if this is just about splitting trace_printk away from kernel.h,
okay. Even container_of() moved out and is included explicitly which is
used a lot. If this next so be it.
