Subject: [PATCH] trace-cmd: Leave out absolute addresses to fix bogus symbol
 resolutions

On x86, page_fault_* tracepoints report userspace address via kernel
symbols because all the per-cpu variable offsets are in kallsyms,
occupying the lower address space. Fix this by skipping over absolute
addresses while processing kallsyms.
