This is more complex than expected...

 1 - GCC rejects inlined variadic functions

 2 - Moving from macro to inline implies use of types defined in cpu.h
 (target_ulong, CPUArchState...), which I cannot include because
 qemu-log.h is used in tools (i.e.  without cpu.h).

Conclusion: unless someone volunteer for a massive restructuring of
qemu-log we have to keep the marcro for log_cpu_state.
