Subject: [PATCH 7/8] perf record: add option to sample physical load/store addresses

This patch adds the --phys-addr option to perf record.
This is used with memory access sampling to capture physical
addresses. The option may be used in conjunction with -d, thereby
providing virtual and physical addresses for a memory access. This
is useful to disambiguate shared memory accesses between processes.
