Subject: [PATCH 20/23] tracehook: CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK

This adds the generic HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK kconfig item.
Each arch should add to some Kconfig file:
	select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
if the arch code uses all the latest hooks to enable newfangled
tracing and debugging code.  The comment in arch/Kconfig lists
all the prerequisite arch support.  When all these are available,
setting HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK will allow enabling any new features
that depend on the modern arch interfaces.
