[PATCH 1/2] perf kvm: option to print events that exceed a duration -v2

From: David Ahern
Date: Wed Aug 07 2013 - 21:56:56 EST


This is useful to spot high latency blips. It is normal for HLT
reasons to have long exit times, so strip those from the duration
check.

v2: changed threshold to duration per acme's request
