qemu_malloc uses g_malloc => you keep tracepoints, you just do not trace 
memory allocated by glib

g_malloc uses qemu_malloc => you keep and expand tracepoints, you lose 
the very nicely tuned allocator

The former is much less code, however it requires qemu_malloc to be 
always balanced with qemu_free (patches ready and on my github tree, 
won't be sent before KVM Forum though...).
