+- I/O tracing:
+		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O

+		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that

+		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
+		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
+
+		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
