Stefan,

I applied the patch and make &install it.

After a round of running of the qemu with the patch, a trace file is 
here, but when I want to open it like this,
./simpletrace.py trace-events trace-29948    //trace-29948 is my tracefile
 an error occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./simpletrace.py", line 151, in <module>
    run(Formatter())
  File "./simpletrace.py", line 131, in run
    events = parse_events(open(sys.argv[1], 'r'))
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'trace-events'

Am I using it in a right way?

Additionally, There is something about WIN32 in patch, How can I compile 
a qemu running on windows? Could you give a reference? thanks
