+ This will build a kernel module called mmiotrace.

+ Mmiotrace traces Memory Mapped I/O access and is meant for debugging
+ and reverse engineering. The kernel module offers wrapped
+ versions of the ioremap family of functions. The driver to be traced
+ must be modified to call these wrappers. A user space program is
+ required to collect the MMIO data.

+ This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
+ as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
+ However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.

+ Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.
