		i	synthesize instructions events
		b	synthesize branches events
		c	synthesize branches events (calls only)
		r	synthesize branches events (returns only)
		x	synthesize transactions events
		e	synthesize error events
		d	create a debug log
		g	synthesize a call chain (use with i or x)
		l	synthesize last branch entries (use with i or x)
		s       skip initial number of events

	The default is all events i.e. the same as --itrace=ibxe

	In addition, the period (default 100000) for instructions events
	can be specified in units of:

		i	instructions
		t	ticks
		ms	milliseconds
		us	microseconds
		ns	nanoseconds (default)

	Also the call chain size (default 16, max. 1024) for instructions or
	transactions events can be specified.

	Also the number of last branch entries (default 64, max. 1024) for
	instructions or transactions events can be specified.

	It is also possible to skip events generated (instructions, branches, transactions)
	at the beginning. This is useful to ignore initialization code.

	--itrace=i0nss1000000

	skips the first million instructions.

cpu/hotplug: Provide dynamic range for prepare stage
Mathieu reported that the LTTNG modules are broken as of 4.10-rc1 due to the removal of the cpu hotplug notifiers. Usually I don't care much about out of tree modules, but LTTNG is widely used in distros. There are two ways to solve that: 1) Reserve a hotplug state for LTTNG 2) Add a dynamic range for the prepare states. While #1 is the simplest solution, #2 is the proper one as we can convert in tree users, which do not care about ordering, to the dynamic range as well. Add a dynamic range which allows LTTNG to request states in the prepare stage.
