Stephane Eranian f20093eef5 perf/x86: Add memory profiling via PEBS Load Latency
This patch adds support for memory profiling using the
PEBS Load Latency facility.

Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction
address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb,
locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer
if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency),
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types.

To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the
model specific event:

 - on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
 - on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD

To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic
alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event
encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly
by the perf tool.

Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML
in July 2011.
