[PATCH] perf script: add script to profile and resolve physical mem type

From: Kan Liang <Kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

There could be different types of memory in the system. E.g normal
System Memory, Persistent Memory. To understand how the workload maps to
those memories, it's important to know the I/O statistics on different
type of memorys. Perf can collect address maps with physical addresses,
but those are raw data. It still needs extra work to resolve the
physical addresses.
Providing a script to facilitate the physical addresses resolving and
I/O statistics.

Profiling with mem-loads and mem-stores if they are available.
Looking up the physical address samples in /proc/iomem
Providing memory type summary

Here is an example
#perf script record mem-phys-addr -- pmem_test_kernel
[ perf record: Woken up 32 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.797 MB perf.data (101995 samples) ]
#perf script report mem-phys-addr
Memory type summary

Event: mem-loads
Memory type count percentage
---------------------------------------- ----------- -----------
Persistent Memory 43740 60.6%
System RAM 27179 37.7%
N/A 1268 1.8%

Event: mem-stores
Memory type count percentage
---------------------------------------- ----------- -----------
System RAM 24508 82.2%
N/A 5140 17.2%
Persistent Memory 160 0.5%
