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.
