[PATCH 6/7] powerpc/perf: Export Power8 memory hierarchy info touser space

[PATCH 6/7] powerpc/perf: Export Power8 memory hierarchy info to user space.

On Power8, the LDST field in SIER identifies the memory hierarchy level
(eg: L1, L2 etc), from which a data-cache miss for a marked instruction
was satisfied.

Use the 'perf_mem_data_src' object to export this hierarchy level to user
space. Fortunately, the memory hierarchy levels in Power8 map fairly easily
into the arch-neutral levels as described by the ldst_src_map[] table.

This hierarchy level information can be used with 'perf record --data'
or 'perf mem' command to analyze application behavior.

Usage:

$ perf mem record <application>
$ perf mem report

OR

$ perf record --data <application>
$ perf report -D

Sample records contain a 'data_src' field which encodes the memory
hierarchy level: Eg: data_src 0x442 indicates MEM_OP_LOAD, MEM_LVL_HIT,
MEM_LVL_L2 (i.e load hit L2).
