Most tracing backends are implemented within QEMU, except the
DTrace/SystemTap backends.
One side effect is when running 'qemu -trace help', an incomplete
list of trace events is displayed when using the DTrace/SystemTap
backends.
This is partly due to trace events registered as modules with
trace_init(), and since the events are not used within QEMU,
the linker optimize and remove the unused modules (which is
OK in this particular case).
Currently only the events compiled in trace-root.o and in the
last trace.o member of libqemuutil.a are linked, resulting in
an incomplete list of events.
To avoid confusion, improve the help message, recommending to
use the proper systemtap script to display the events list.
Before:
$ lm32-softmmu/qemu-system-lm32 -trace help 2>&1 | wc -l
70
After:
$ lm32-softmmu/qemu-system-lm32 -trace help
Run 'qemu-trace-stap list qemu-system-lm32' to print a list
of names of trace points with the DTrace/SystemTap backends.

There's little point in dynamically allocating the bitmap if we
know at compile-time the max number of events we want to support.
Thus, make room in the struct for the bitmap, which will make things
easier later: this paves the way for upcoming changes, in which
we'll use a u32 to fully capture cpu->trace_dstate.
This change also increases performance by saving a dereference and
improving locality--note that this is important since upcoming work
makes reading this bitmap fairly common.

The CPUState struct has a bitmap tracking which VCPU
events are currently active. This is indexed based on
the event ID values, and sized according the maximum

When we start dynamically assigning IDs at runtime,
we can't statically declare a bitmap without making
an assumption about the max event count. This problem
can be solved by dynamically allocating the per-CPU
dstate bitmap.

The TraceEventID and TraceEventVCPUID enums constants are
no longer actually used for anything critical.
The TRACE_EVENT_COUNT limit is used to determine the size
of the TraceEvents array, and can be removed if we just
NULL terminate the array instead.
The TRACE_VCPU_EVENT_COUNT limit is used as a magic value
for marking non-vCPU events, and also for declaring the
size of the trace dstate mask in the CPUState struct.
The former usage can be replaced by a dedicated constant
TRACE_EVENT_VCPU_NONE, defined as (uint32_t)-1. For the
latter usage, we can simply define a constant for the
number of VCPUs, avoiding the need for the full enum.
The only other usages of the enum values can be replaced
by accesing the id/vcpu_id fields via the named TraceEvent
structs.
