The new generic header mmio-instrumented.h will keep arch code clean
and separate from instrumented version which traces mmio register
accesses. This instrumented header is generic and can be used by other
architectures as well. Also add a generic flag (__DISABLE_TRACE_MMIO__)
which is used to disable MMIO tracing in nVHE and if required can be
used to disable tracing for specific drivers.

This Gospel would be better placed next to the code that defines the
macro, given that this is an arch-independent include file, and hardly
anyone understands the quirks of a nVHE KVM (and only nVHE, something
that the comment fails to capture).

M.


I'll move the comment and include nVHE in the comment as well.

Thanks,
Sai
