[PATCH 1/2] trace: document how to specify multiple --trace patterns |

It is possible to repeat the --trace option to specify multiple
patterns. This may be preferrable to users who do not want to create a
file with a list of patterns.

This output comes from the "log" trace backend that is enabled by default when
``./configure --enable-trace-backends=BACKENDS`` was not explicitly specified.
-More than one trace event pattern can be specified by providing a file
-instead::
+Multiple patterns can be specified by repeating the ``--trace`` option::
+
+ $ qemu --trace "kvm_*" --trace "virtio_*" ...
+
+When patterns are used frequently it is more convenient to store them in a
+file to avoid long command-line options::
$ echo "memory_region_ops_*" >/tmp/events
+ $ echo "kvm_*" >>/tmp/events
$ qemu --trace events=/tmp/events ...
