haven't thought about interface yet, just noticed it's something
that's not so easy to find out while we can present it to user quite
easily

the interface needs to have perf.data in it, because buildid-cache
does not work on top of perf.data, perhaps something like:

   # perf report --show-missing-debuginfo

or on top of current interface:

   # perf buildid-cache -a perf.data --show-missing-debuginfo
