FROMLIST: tracing: Add support for preempt and irq enable/disable events
Preempt and irq trace events can be used for tracing the start and end of an atomic section which can be used by a trace viewer like systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues. This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to rewrite the preempt and irqsoff tracers, along with numerous benefits of using trace events features for these events.
