[Qemu-devel] [RFC v4][PATCH 3/3] Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace events.

[Prerna Saxena <prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of trace events.
This is done by internally maintaining each trace event's state, and 
permitting logging of data from a trace event only if it is in an 
'active' state.

Monitor commands added :
1) info trace-events 		: to view all available trace events and 
				  their state.
2) trace-event NAME on|off 	: to enable/disable data logging from a 
				  given trace event.
				  Eg, trace-event paio_submit off 
				  	disables logging of data when 
					paio_submit is hit.

By default, all trace-events are disabled. One can enable desired trace-events 
via the monitor.
