+ *
+ * args:  must match the arguments in the prototype.
+ *    Here it is simply "foo, bar".
+ *
+ * struct:  This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
+ *    There are currently two types of elements. __field and __array.
+ *    a __field is broken up into (type, name). Where type can be any
+ *    type but an array.
+ *    For an array. there are three fields. (type, name, size). The
+ *    type of elements in the array, the name of the field and the size
+ *    of the array.
+ *
+ *    __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying   char foo[10].
+ *
+ * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
+ *    into the ring buffer.
+ *
+ * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
+ *    useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
+ *    the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
+ *
+ * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
+ * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
+ * TP_STRUCT__entry.
