This is the next step in splitting up the driver,
making the uCode API dependent pieces of it live
in separate modules. Right now there's only one
so it's not user-selectable, but we're actively
working on more.

The device tracing routines only use the priv pointer as an opaque
value. Change from a typed iwl_priv pointer to a null pointer and
eliminate the need to include iwl_priv.h. CMD_ASYNC is defined in
iwl_shared.h which is the only reason it is included.

iwl-devtrace.h is used to declare and define trace points and
including iwl-dev.h from the file, which in turn includes other
generic headers, can lead to problems like generating duplicate copies
of generic trace points depending on the order of includes. Don't
include iwl-dev.h from iwl-devtrace.h but include it from its users -
iwl-io.h and iwl-devtrace.c.

In order to help uCode debugging, adding the capability to provide
continuous uCode event logging function.
uCode events is located in round-robin event queue and filled by uCode,
by enable continuous event logging, driver check the write pointer
and log the newly added events in iwl_bg_ucode_trace() timer function.
There is still possibility of missing events if event queue being
wrapped before next event dump; but with this capability, we can have
much better understanding of the uCode behavior during runtime; it can
help to debug the uCode related issues.
Methods to enable/disable the continuous event log:
step 1: enable ucode trace timer
"echo 1 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"
step 2: start ftrace
sudo ./trace-cmd record -e iwlwifi_ucode:* sleep 1d
step 3: stop ftrace
sudo ./trace-cmd report trace.dat
step 4: disable ucode trace timer
"echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"
use "ucode_tracing" debugfs file to display number of event
queue wrapped when driver attempt the continuous event logging. If event
queue being wrapped more than once when driver has opportunity to log
the event; it indicated there are events missing in the event log trace.
This continuous event log function only available for 4965 and newer
NICs.

In order to have an easier way to debug issues, create
trace events (using the ftrace framework) that will
allow us to follow exactly what the driver is doing
with the device.
The text format isn't all that useful, but the binary
format can also be obtained easily via debugfs and
then analysed on the fly or offline with debugging
tools.
