[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/7] trace: Support disabled events in trace-events

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Sometimes it is useful to disable a trace event.  Removing the event
from trace-events is not enough since source code will call the
trace_*() function for the event.

This patch makes it easy to build without specific trace events by
marking them disabled in trace-events:

disable multiwrite_cb(void *mcb, int ret) "mcb %p ret %d"

This builds without the multiwrite_cb trace event.
