Cool, this looks promising!

Two ideas:
Global trace event name list
----------------------------
Build *some* global information about all trace events, including
modules, into the main QEMU binary. For example, generate an array of
all trace event names so QEMU can always print an error if a
non-existent trace event name is used. (This is similar to the
trace-events-all file, which is a global list of all trace events.)
Module name prefixes
--------------------
Allow an optional module/group prefix like qxl:my_trace_event. When the
user says:
--trace qxl:my_trace_event
QEMU knows that this trace event belongs to the "qxl" module/group. It
will not attempt to load it until the qxl module registers itself.
If "my_trace_event" doesn't exist in the qxl module:
1. If the qxl module is not loaded we don't hit an error. Nevermind.
2. When the qxl module is loaded pending events are resolved and an
error is printed.
