[PATCH] pm_trace is dangerous
CONFIG_PM_TRACES scrogs your RTC. Mark it as experimental, and defaulting to `off'. Also beef up the help message a bit. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
+ To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
+ then reboot it, then run
+
+ dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
+
+ CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
+ set to an invalid time after a resume.
