[PATCH v18 09/19] perf, tools: Add override support for event list CPUID

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a PERF_CPUID variable to override the CPUID of the current CPU (within
the current architecture). This is useful for testing, so that all event
lists can be tested on a single system.
