Otherwise make tags can't parse them:

ctags: Warning: arch/ia64/kernel/smp.c:60: null expansion of name pattern "\1"

...

Seems to me you need to fix ctags.

I'm sure the maintainers of ctags and etags would accept patches to
describe a custom context-free grammar via commandline options, but
until then, let's continue using the regular expressions in tags.sh and
remove newlines in macros that tags.sh is trying to expand.

Do you have a list of the most common macros?

Perhaps it'd be good to add exceptions to checkpatch
80 column line rules for them.
