Any event with the keyword/property "disable" generates an empty trace event
using the "nop" backend, regardless of the current backend.

The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace
event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing
early tracing.
This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor
interface or whichever backend-specific interface.

The current interface is generic for this small set of operations, and thus
other backends can easily modify the "trace/control.c" file to add their own
implementation.

This adds/modifies the following functions:
* get_name: Get _only_ the event name
* has_property: Return whether an event has a property (keyword before the event
name)

This patch finally merges the EHCI host adapter aka USB 2.0 support.
Based on the ehci bits collected @ git://git.kiszka.org/qemu.git ehci
EHCI has a long out-of-tree history. Project was started by Mark
Burkley, with contributions by Niels de Vos. David S. Ahern continued
working on it. Kevin Wolf, Jan Kiszka and Vincent Palatin contributed
bugfixes.
/me (Gerd Hoffmann) picked it up where it left off, prepared the code
for merge, fixed a few bugs and added basic user docs.

This adds a description of the qcow2 file format to the docs/ directory.
Besides documenting what's there, which is never wrong, the document should
provide a good basis for the discussion of format extensions (called "qcow3"
in previous discussions)

Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple
trace backend since it is not thread-safe. There is no check to prevent
them being enabled so people sometimes learn this the hard way.
This patch restructures the simple trace backend with a ring buffer
suitable for multiple concurrent writers. A writeout thread empties the
trace buffer when threshold fill levels are reached. Should the
writeout thread be unable to keep up with trace generation, records will
simply be dropped.
Each time events are dropped a special record is written to the trace
file indicating how many events were dropped. The event ID is
0xfffffffffffffffe and its signature is dropped(uint32_t count).

The following additions to the tracing documentation are included:
1. Move "stderr" backend documentation to top-level and out of "simple"
backend. Include hints on when this backend is useful.
2. Document the "simple" backend thread-safety limitation.
3. Document the "dtrace" backend for SystemTap.

The blkverify block driver makes investigating image format data
corruption much easier. A raw image initialized with the same contents
as the test image (e.g. qcow2 file) must be provided. The raw image
mirrors read/write operations and is used to verify that data read from
the test image is correct.
