Ha! You used "TRACING_DIR" but patch one introduces TRACE_DIR. Lets
change this to DEBUG_TRACING_DIR instead anyway.

Also, I don't like the generic environment variables. Perhaps
VIRTIO_TRACE_DIR, or AGENT_TRACE_DIR and AGENT_TRACE_CTL. Lets try to
keep the environment namespace sparse.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to convert a lot to use 'bool' instead.
