So 'perf trace' has a similar option:

[acme@zoo linux]$ perf trace --help
<SNIP>
        --duration <float>
                          show only events with duration > N.M ms
<SNIP>

While you used:
 
> +		OPT_U64('T', "threshold", &kvm->threshold,
> +		    "show events other than HALT that take longer than threshold usecs"),

I prefer 'duration', and haven't assigned a single letter to it, they
are scarce and we have shell long option completion, what do you think?

The term was chosen, for 'perf trace' on the original patchset:
