That is not the real reason. trace.h get built as part of kvm.ko or as
part of kernel. These trace functions actually get called from
kvm-pr.ko. To make they build i would either need EXPORT_SYMBOL or move
the definition of them to kvm-pr.ko. I did the later and moved only pr
related traces to kvm-pr.ko
