trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in Kconfig
Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it was forgotten. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64. Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there. Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

343 This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
344 as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
345 However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
