This is done so as to be able to make use of the coresight components'
registers in assembler code (like omap sleep code). Also, there shouldn't
be any users of this structure outside the etm driver.

This driver implements support for on-chip Embedded Tracing Macrocell and
Embedded Trace Buffer. It allows to trigger tracing of kernel execution flow
and exporting trace output to userspace via character device and a sysrq
combo.
Trace output can then be decoded by a fairly simple open source tool [1]
which is already sufficient to get the idea of what the kernel is doing.
