IMO, log function can be implemented with trace. Not another way around.
Functionality-wise we can replace/redirect logs are traces.
At least at the registration point, semantically and syntax wise it
can be similar.

If we consider the constructor per log/trace is an improvement, I
would like to do that first in rte_log
and it has more consumers.
And I am willing to send a patch for the following change across
rte_log consumers.
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-May/166468.html
I created the rte_trace registration mechanism similar to rte_log with
community feedback on
alignment and rte_trace and rte_log. I would like to maintain that.
