This trace has been placed here because it traces the machine low
level mode enter.

That makes sense. We have a few options here:
1) keep the traces as proposed to trace the low level machine code only,
2) move the traces to the entry and exit of suspend_enter so that it
includes the prepare and late_prepare (+ the associated wake-up)
callbacks as well,
3) move the traces to suspend_devices_and_enter so that it includes 2)
and the handling of the console and the devices,
4) move the traces to enter_state do that it includes 3), the call to
sys_sync and the user space freeze.

Note that the the SNAPSHOT_2RAM ioctl code also calls
suspend_devices_and_enter, so if only 4) is used no trace will be
generated in that case.

I am in favor of 3) of 4).
What do you think?
