Subject: reasonable to compile out trace_irqflags completely ?

Hi there,

Anyone knows if there is value to have a patch to compile out
TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT?
if there is one already, please share it with me, since I'm wondering
if it could be casuing
some performance problem I've.

Thanks,
Luming
