This could really use a changelog explaining what you're tracing,
and most importantly why.

Why do we need all these different defintions?  Just use
cdw2/3/10/11/12/13 for the fields and decode those __le32 on
a per-command basis where needed.

Wouldn't it be easier to have separate tracepoints for admin vs
I/O commands?  Especially as people might often want to trace
only one or the other.
