As mentioned elsewhere, I don't see a reason for "nolog" variants if it
is just to avoid logging too much. You can easily filter on the
recording side.

So basically, this is always doing a function call, even when tracing
is not enabled. You may want to turn this into a macro, and use the new
interface I'm about to push:

 See https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200925211206.423598568@goodmis.org

Although I'm about to push a v3 (found a config that breaks msr.h)

#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRACE_RW)
#include <linux/atomic.h>
#include <linux/tracepoint-defs.h>

DECLARE_TRACEPOINT(rwio_write);
DECLARE_TRACEPOINT(rwio_read);

void __log_write_io(volatile void __iomem *addr);
void __log_read_io(const volatile void __iomem *addr);

#define log_write_io(addr) \
	if (tracepoint_enabled(rwio_write)
		__log_write_io(addr)

#define log_read_io(addr) \
	if (tracepoint_enabled(rwio_read)
		__log_read_io(addr)

"raw" is too generic. Call this rwio_write.

And this "rwio_read"
