x86: mmiotrace, preview 2
Kconfig.debug, Makefile and testmmiotrace.c style fixes. Use real mutex instead of mutex. Fix failure path in register probe func. kmmio: RCU read-locked over single stepping. Generate mapping id's. Make mmio-mod.c built-in and rewrite its locking. Add debugfs file to enable/disable mmiotracing. kmmio: use irqsave spinlocks. Lots of cleanups in mmio-mod.c Marker file moved from /proc into debugfs. Call mmiotrace entrypoints directly from ioremap.c.
