    Add 'perf kvm stat' support to analyze kvm vmexit/mmio/ioport smartly
    
    Usage:
    - kvm stat
      run a command and gather performance counter statistics, it is the alias of
      perf stat
    
    - trace kvm events:
      perf kvm stat record, or, if other tracepoints are interesting as well, we
      can append the events like this:
      perf kvm stat record -e timer:* -a
    
      If many guests are running, we can track the specified guest by using -p or
      --pid, -a is used to track events generated by all guests.
    
    - show the result:
      perf kvm stat report
    
    The output example is following:
    13005
    13059
    
    total 2 guests are running on the host
    
    Then, track the guest whose pid is 13059:
    ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.253 MB perf.data.guest (~11065 samples) ]
    
    See the vmexit events:
    
    Analyze events for all VCPUs:
    
                 VM-EXIT    Samples  Samples%     Time%         Avg time
    
             APIC_ACCESS        460    70.55%     0.01%     22.44us ( +-   1.75% )

    Total Samples:652, Total events handled time:77396109.80us.
    
    See the mmio events:
    
    Analyze events for all VCPUs:
    
             MMIO Access    Samples  Samples%     Time%         Avg time
    
            0xfee00380:W        387    84.31%    79.28%      8.29us ( +-   3.32% )

    Total Samples:459, Total events handled time:4044.59us.
    
    See the ioport event:
    
    Analyze events for all VCPUs:
    
          IO Port Access    Samples  Samples%     Time%         Avg time

    Total Samples:3, Total events handled time:41.26us.
    
    And, --vcpu is used to track the specified vcpu and --key is used to sort the
    result:
    
    Analyze events for VCPU 0:
    
                 VM-EXIT    Samples  Samples%     Time%         Avg time
