I moved the references to the mmiotrace developer page: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTraceDeveloper People recording traces do not need the tools, so I removed them from the MmioTrace page to clarify it. Here "developer" includes people analyzing the traces. I added a note to the MmioTrace wiki page. I'm not actively developing nor even maintaining those tools anymore. I guess hardcore developers do not even need them, they prefer reading hex. But, the tools should still be in a working order. The documentation may be a bit scattered. The tools are in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~pq/mmio-trace/ and the Rules-ng parts are in http://nouveau.cvs.sourceforge.net/nouveau/rules-ng/ More information is in the wiki.
