Subject: [PATCH 13/21] perf cs-etm: Support dummy address value for CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@...aro.org>

For CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet, its fields 'packet->start_addr' and
'packet->end_addr' equal to 0xdeadbeefdeadbeefUL which are emitted in
the decoder layer as dummy value, but the dummy value is pointless for
branch sample when we use 'perf script' command to check program flow.

This patch is a preparation to support CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet for branch
sample, it converts the dummy address value to zero for more readable;
this is accomplished by cs_etm__last_executed_instr() and
cs_etm__first_executed_instr().  The later one is a new function
introduced by this patch.
