so this perf cord set of events is set when you want to get
the freq data/ratios.. I think we should not force user to
specify this on command line and provide short option for
that like

  $ perf record --freq ~/tchain_edit

we already do this in perf stat for transactions.. you
can also check the existence of particular events and warn
user appropriatelly if any is missing
