This is a step in the right direction, but please see my email to Lai
about the fact that this assumes correct and undocumented include
dependencies in kernel/trace/events.c. Not explicitely stating the
include dependencies is a build error waiting to happen.

Including interrupt.h under a ifdef would allow keeping track of
TRACE_EVENT specific build dependencies neatly on a per header basis.
