The log filters have supported the use of a "+" before the source match
string to request that a stack trace be emitted for every log message:

Allow stack traces to be included with log messages
Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.
With the huge & ever increasing number of logging statements per file,
this will be incredibly verbose and have a major performance penalty.
This makes the feature impractical to use widely and as such it is not
worth the code maint cost.
Removing this seldom used feature allows us to drop the 'execinfo'
module in gnulib which provides the backtrace() function which doesn't
exist on non-Linux.
Users who want to get stack traces of parts of libvirt can use GDB,
or systemtap for live tracing with minimal perf impact.

I guess "log message only" no longer makes sense here either
<p>where <code>name</code> is a string which is matched against
the category given in the VIR_LOG_INIT() at the top of each
libvirt source file, e.g., <code>remote</code>, <code>qemu</code>,

substring of the full category name, in order to match multiple

- libvirt to log stack trace for each message
- matching <code>name</code>, and <code>x</code> is the minimal
+ similar categories), and <code>x</code> is the minimal
level where matching messages should be logged:</p>
