  perf tools: fix BFD detection on opensuse
  commit 280e7c48c3b873e4987a63da276ecab25383f494
  Author: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  Date:   Sat Jan 11 11:42:51 2014 -0800

could you please try patch below? it adds that only
if thats detected

'make VF=1' should display more status now

Andi,
could you please try that on opensuse?

thanks,
jirka
