[PATCH] pm: make PM_TRACE more architecture independent

[PATCH] pm: make PM_TRACE more architecture independent

[Johannes Berg]

When trying to debug a suspend failure I started implementing
PM_TRACE for powerpc. I then noticed that I'm debugging a suspend
failure and so PM_TRACE isn't useful at all, but thought that
nonetheless this could be useful in the future.

Basically, to support PM_TRACE, you add a Kconfig option that
selects PM_TRACE and provides the infrastructure as per the
help text of PM_TRACE.

I don't really care much. I can let this patch collect dust until I
actually want to implement PM_TRACE for powerpc or another architecture
but since I had it I wanted to send it out too.
