This patch adds a test of tracepoint speed to the testsuite.
Oh yeah, one other thing to note: the test cases don't actually
regression-test performance numbers, since they will vary randomly; the
numbers are simply printed into the test log. It's not even clear that
we can test that "fast" tracepoints are faster than regular tracepoints,
since a target is not even required to implement them with different
mechanisms.
