ftrace: type cast filter+verifier

Browse Source 
The mmiotrace map had a bug that would typecast the entry from
the trace to the wrong type. That is a known danger of C typecasts,
there's absolutely zero checking done on them.

Help that problem a bit by using a GCC extension to implement a
type filter that restricts the types that a trace record can be
cast into, and by adding a dynamic check (in debug mode) to verify
the type of the entry.

This patch adds a macro to assign all entries of ftrace using the type
of the variable and checking the entry id. The typecasts are now done
in the macro for only those types that it knows about, which should
be all the types that are allowed to be read from the tracer.
