This adds trace_map/trace_unmap tracepoints to spapr driver. Type1 already
uses these via the IOMMU API (iommu_map/__iommu_unmap).

Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <redacted>  

Is this really legitimate to include tracepoints from a different
subsystem?  The vfio type1 backend gets these trace points by virtue of
it actually using the IOMMU API, it doesn't call them itself.  I'm kind
of surprised these are actually available to be called from a module.
I suspect the way to do this is probably to define our own tracepoints
in the vfio/spapr backend or insert tracepoints into the IOMMU layers
that that code calls into rather than masquerading as tracepoints from
a different subsystem.  Right?  Thanks,

Alex
