[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] trace: separate MMIO tracepoints from TB-access tracepoints

[Hollis Blanchard <hollis_blanchard@mentor.com>]

Memory accesses to code which has previously been translated into a TB show up
in the MMIO path, so that they may invalidate the TB. It's extremely confusing
to mix those in with device MMIOs, so split them into their own tracepoint.

It took many hours to figure out why some RAM accesses were coming through the
MMIO path instead of being handled inline in the TBs.

On IRC, Paolo expressed some concern about performance, but ultimately agreed
that adding one conditional to an already heavy codepath wouldn't have much
impact.
