As suggested by Luiz, I'm posting this set of documentation patches that
elucidate for proposed QMP interfaces for tracing.

QMP commands :
* trace-event : to toggle state of a trace-event.
* set-trace-file : to set a new output file for tracing; enable/disable 
                   writing traces to file; flush buffer contents to file.
* Query Commands :
------------------
   * query-trace : to list current contents of trace buffer that havent 
                   been written to file.
   * query-trace-events : to list all available trace-events and their status.
   * query-trace-file : to display currently set trace file and its status.
