We use sample_type PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR for the data virtual address.
So in this patch I choose a similar name PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR for
data physical address. I think it should not lead to ambiguity.

We use another sample_type PERF_SAMPLE_IP to get data->ip.
So I think we may name PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_IP as the new sample_type
for the physical addresses of IP
Also, since code and data are from different sample_type, I think it may
be better to implement the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_IP in a separate patch later.
