From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanu...@linux.intel.com> It would be useful to have a cheat-sheet for everything under tracing/events/ alongside the existing text describing the other files in the tracing/ dir.
Add short descriptions of the directories and files under events/ along with examples, similar to the existing text for the other files in tracing/. Also clean up a few minor alignment problems noticed when adding the new text.
