tapset/utrace.stp

I went to hack on a utrace API tapset to aid my kernel hacking, and I was
surprised to find a file by that name exists.

In fact, it's a file of functions magically referred used by the
translator.  (It unfortunately lacks any comments explaining that's how
it's used.)  I think it would make sense for any code that is magically
required by the translator to be placed someplace obviously different from
normal tapset code.

Perhaps move this file to a subdirectory such as tapset/runtime/?
(Are there any other such files?)


Thanks,
Roland
