Hemant Kumar 78e6c39b23 perf kvm/powerpc: Add support for HCALL reasons
Powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest
behaviour. Enhance perf kvm stat to record and analyze hcall events.

 - To trace hcall events :
  perf kvm stat record

 - To show the results :
  perf kvm stat report --event=hcall

The result shows the number of hypervisor calls from the guest grouped
by their respective reasons displayed with the frequency.

This patch makes use of two additional tracepoints
"kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_enter" and "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_exit". To map the hcall
codes to their respective names, it needs a mapping. Such mapping is
added in this patch in book3s_hcalls.h.

 # pgrep qemu
A sample output :
19378
60515

2 VMs running.

 # perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624
samples) ]

 # perf kvm stat report -p 60515 --event=hcall

Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs:
