heads up/RFC: 'perf trace' using ordered_events

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

Hi,

	Just a preview, but this is something David had mentioned at some
point, a major problem with 'perf trace' was that it wasn't using
'perf_session' event reordering mechanism, so I've been working on making it
use it, refactoring the ordered_events code so that it can be used by tools
that don't deal with perf.data files.

	I still have to investigate why there are so many sched_wakeup at the beginning,
but probably they are really being generated by the kernel and 'perf trace' has to make
this output more compact, perhaps noticing that a number of similar events appeared on
the stream and instead of writing N lines, print some prefix ([N*] perhaps) and then
the line.

	Also its keeping pointers to the ring buffer, probably we'll need to copy or
store the perf_sample somehow in the 'ordered_event' instance.

	But as this is touching things that Namhyung is touching as well, I thought about
sharing this stuff, its on my tree, branch tmp.perf/trace_ordered_events.

	Lunchtime, bbl!
