Add logging support for MMIO high level accessors such as read{b,w,l,q}
and their relaxed versions to aid in debugging unexpected crashes/hangs

Shouldn't you document __DISABLE_TRACE_MMIO__ somewhere?  It's not even
in the changelog.  Put a big comment above this for what is is for and
how to use it.  Otherwise you will forget all about this in 6 months :)

Didn't you ask me to split the patch to the one actually adding the flag and the one using it.
So I have added the description in that patch which adds the flag since we can't add description
everywhere we use the flag right :)

Thanks,
Sai
