Yes, there are some shady user space tools. I moved the
references to the mmiotrace developer page:
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTraceDeveloper
People recording traces do not need the tools, so I
removed them from the MmioTrace page to clarify it.

Here "developer" includes people analyzing the traces.
I added a note to the MmioTrace wiki page.

I'm not actively developing nor even maintaining those
tools anymore. I guess hardcore developers do not even need
them, they prefer reading hex. But, the tools should still be
in a working order. The documentation may be a bit scattered.

The tools are in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~pq/mmio-trace/
and the Rules-ng parts are in
http://nouveau.cvs.sourceforge.net/nouveau/rules-ng/
More information is in the wiki.

Thanks.
