[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] lib: Add igt_trace()

[Ville Syrjala]

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

Add igt_trace() which can be used to inject messages into the
kernel ftrace buffer via the trace_marker file. Quite useful when
trying to correlate test case activity with kernel tracepoints.
