Thanks for reviewing.

I am writing files with the traces to the mounted file system.

I activated traces in lib/efi_loader only and found several hundred
thousand function calls just to start Shell.efi which ended up in
exceeding the trace buffer. This is why want to lift unnecessary
restrictions.

What I still need to write is a script to analyze the traces to
calculate the gross and the net time spent in each function.
