Without this patch we get this for need_resched:

But from the 'perf report' result we know that there are hits for need_resched
on a 4 way machine mostly doing nothing, so after adding code to show what is
in each hist offset and collapsing IP hits for what happens between objdump
lines we get, for the same perf.data file:

[root@mica ~]# perf annotate -v need_resched

And now 'perf annotate -v', verbose mode, will show the hits per precise IP,
so that one can make sense of the attribution to each objdumop line:

[root@mica ~]# perf annotate -v need_resched
