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.

- This will build a kernel module called mmiotrace.
- Making this a built-in is heavily discouraged.

- Mmiotrace traces Memory Mapped I/O access and is meant for debugging
- and reverse engineering. The kernel module offers wrapped
- versions of the ioremap family of functions. The driver to be traced
- must be modified to call these wrappers. A user space program is
- required to collect the MMIO data.

This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
