The above totally breaks any parsing by tools. We have already have a
way to map values to strings with __print_symbolic():

		__print_symbolic(__entry->pattern,
			{ RA_PATTERN_INITIAL, "initial" },
			{ RA_PATTERN_SUBSEQUENT, "subsequent"},
			{ RA_PATTERN_CONTEXT, "context"},
			{ RA_PATTERN_THRASH, "thrash"},
			{ RA_PATTERN_MMAP_AROUND, "around"},
			{ RA_PATTERN_FADVISE, "fadvise" },
			{ RA_PATTERN_RANDOM, "random"},
			{ RA_PATTERN_ALL, "all" }),

see include/trace/irq.h for another example.
