Not without thinking carefully about it. This is programmer
debug code for figuring out what's happening in a performance
sensitive bit of code. "Just print to stderr" is the classic
way to do this, and I don't think we should just convert that
into userfacing trace.

There may be useful user facing trace we can do of TLB
operations but I wouldn't assume that our current debug
printfs are it.
