[PATCH 1/4] perf tools: Add verbose output for sys_perf_event_open fallback

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding info about what is being switched off in
the sys_perf_event_open fallback.

New output (notice the 'switching off' lines):
  $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' -vvv ls
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-3D
  intel_pt default config: tsc
