Hmm.  I can see your point that we'd lose the direct relationship
between the enum and string when running a single `git grep` from the
tree, still attempting to do that does not actually lead to much
information gained?  Personally, I usually grep for code when looking
for consistent information across various paths in the tree.  Wait
events are very different: each enum is used in a single place in the
tree making their grep search the equivalent of looking at
wait_event_names.txt anyway?

The quotes in the second columns can be removed even with your
argument in place.  That improves a bit the format.
