[PATCH v2] Shorter fast tracepoints

Here is a more-polished version of the shorter fast tracepoints patch.
It incorporates EliZ's feedback on the documentation, describing the
arcana in some more detail.
It also adds a generic fast tracepoint test case, plus Yao-inspired asm
hackery to include an actual 4-byte instruction to be the tracepoint
location. There is one downside to the test case, in that the number of
passes will vary depending on the setting of mmap_min_addr - adding
artificial xfails is a possibility, although this test can only run on
32-bit x86 Linux with GDBserver, so you have to work just to get to the
test in the first place. :-)
I plan to commit this if there are no objections.
