PATCH 1/1 xentrace updates
Some minor updates to xentrace.
PATCH 1/1 xentrace: Skip to low cpu when throwing away portions of the circular buffer
Skip to the next "low" cpu when throwing away portions of the circular memory buffer. This makes subsequent analysis easier.

PATCH 1/1 xentrace: Add an option not to enable tracing
In reply to George DunlapAdd an option that will set up the buffers and listen for updates, but will not enable tracing. This is useful if you have hacks in Xen to enable tracing at key points (for example, debugging a shadow bug).
