docs/devel/tracing.txt describes them, but basically:
 * include "trace.h"
 * define trace events with a line for each in the trace-events
   file for the subdirectory (basically a function prototype-ish
   thing followed by a printf-style format string)
 * call them like normal function calls with a trace_ prefix

commit 1b640aa9292bc00beb441e97d862ba322a7ba18d is a recent one
which converted some DRINTFs in hw/sd/sd.c to trace events.
