trace_printk should not be used in production code. Since
tracing interrupts is presumably latency sensitive, pr_dbg is
not appropriate, so guard the call with a preprocessor symbol
that can be defined for debugging purpose.

(resending this patch as part of the whole series, since we need a new
patch 3/3 now).

Why are these not trace events?

The reason I have that ugly banner is to keep people from doing EXACTLY THIS!

trace_printk() is really easy to add, but it also is not configurable.
When a trace_printk() is in the code, it is always enabled (well, you
can turn trace_printk off, but that's an all or nothing. That is, by
turning trace_printk off, you turn off *all* trace_printks).

Instead, people should add trace events. This here is a perfect place
to have a trace event. You don't need to add #ifdef around trace events
because when not enabled, they are simply a nop. When enabled, the nop
is turned into a jump to the tracing code. It should not affect
performance. And as a trace event, you get a bunch of features with it
(filtering, histograms, etc).
