[Bug translator/11370] New: multi-header @cast

["jistone at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Sometimes a header may not #include everything that it needs to stand alone, and
so @cast will fail to build a module around it:

$ stap -ue 'probe begin {
println(&@cast(0, "fs_struct", "kernel<linux/fs_struct.h>")->root)
}' --vp 04
Running make -C '/lib/modules/2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64/build'
M='/tmp/staprfow66/typequery_kmod_1' modules ARCH="x86_64" V=1

        source: println(&@cast(0, "fs_struct", "kernel<linux/fs_struct.h>")->root)
                         ^

We could work around this by allowing @cast to specify multiple headers which
should be compiled together.  Frank suggested listing them like this:

  @cast(x, "foo", "kernel<foo.h><bar.h>")->...
