This patch adds a ftrace tracing backend which sends trace event to
ftrace marker file. You can effectively compare qemu trace data and
kernel(especially, kvm.ko when using KVM) trace data.
The ftrace backend is restricted to Linux only.
To try out the ftrace backend:
$ ./configure --trace-backend=ftrace
$ make
if you use KVM, enable kvm events in ftrace:
# sudo echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
After running qemu by root user, you can get the trace:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Make sure to rebuild generated-events.o when ./configure options change.
This prevents linker errors when a stale generated-events.o gets linked
with code compiled against fresh headers. For example, try building
with ./configure --enable-trace-backend=stderr followed by ./configure
--enable-trace-backend=dtrace.

Uses tracetool to generate a backend-independent tracing event description
(struct TraceEvent).
The values for such structure are generated with the non-public "events"
backend ("events-c" frontend).
The generation of the defines to check if an event is statically enabled is also
moved to the "events" backend ("events-h" frontend).
