STM devices.

stm_ftrace
==========
This is another "stm_source" device, once the stm_ftrace has been
linked with an stm device, and if "function" tracer is enabled,
function address and parent function address which Ftrace subsystem
would store into ring buffer will be exported via the stm device at
the same time.
Currently only Ftrace "function" tracer is supported.
