These set of patches add few improvements to iotrace.
* Region limiting - allows setting an address and size where only
                                        io operations that falls into that address are
                                        logged.
* Timestamping - Timestamp every iotrace record with current timestamp
* dumping - iotrace dump command for dumping all records from buffer
                        in a readable fashion.

In terms of backwards compatibility, the timestamp is not backward
compatible as it changes the iotrace record. so if one developed an
offline parsing tool it will be broken.
I though of adding #ifdef specific for that, but eventually I didn't.

Changes in v4:
- Resend complete patchset with patman

Changes in v3:
- fixed wrong usage of WARN_ONCE

Changes in v2:
- introduced needed_size to notify the user about the needed buffer size.

Changes in v1:
- Change timestamp function to get_ticks()
