Andi Kleen b585ebdb59 perf script: Add --insn-trace for instruction decoding
Add a --insn-trace short hand option for decoding and disassembling
instruction streams for intel_pt. This automatically pipes the output
into the xed disassembler to generate disassembled instructions.  This
just makes this use model much nicer to use.

Now:

  % perf record -e intel_pt// ...
  % perf script --insn-trace --xed
  ... same output ...

XED needs to be installed with:

  $ git clone https://github.com/intelxed/mbuild.git mbuild
  $ git clone https://github.com/intelxed/xed
  $ cd xed
  $ ./mfile.py
  $ ./mfile.py examples
  $ sudo ./mfile.py --prefix=/usr/local install
  $ sudo cp obj/examples/xed /usr/local/bin

For --xed the xed tool is needed. Here is how to install it:
$ git clone https://github.com/intelxed/mbuild.git mbuild
$ git clone https://github.com/intelxed/xed
$ cd xed
$ ./mfile.py --share
$ ./mfile.py examples
$ sudo ./mfile.py --prefix=/usr/local install
$ sudo ldconfig
$ sudo cp obj/examples/xed /usr/local/bin
Basic xed testing:
$ xed | head -3
