trace: Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace events
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.

This patch abstracts the monitor printing interface so there is no direct coupling between simpletrace and the monitor. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
