Subject: [patch 9/9] x86, bts, ftrace: a BTS ftrace plug-in prototype

A prototype for a BTS ftrace plug-in.

The tracer collects branch trace in a cyclic buffer for each cpu.

The tracer is not configurable and the trace for each snapshot is
appended when doing cat /debug/tracing/trace.

This is a proof of concept that will be extended with future patches
to become a (hopefully) useful tool.
