Ingo Molnar fbf9482911 perf sched: Implement the scheduling workload replay engine
Integrate the schedbench.c bits with the raw trace events
that we get from the perf machinery, and activate the
workload replayer/simulator.

Example of a captured 'make -j' workload:

$ perf sched

  run measurement overhead: 90 nsecs
  sleep measurement overhead: 2724743 nsecs
  the run test took 1000081 nsecs
  the sleep test took 2981111 nsecs
  version = 0.5

I.e. we successfully analyzed the trace, replayed it
via real threads and measured the replayed workload's
scheduling properties.

This is how it looked like in 'top' output:

There's still various kinks in it - more patches to come.
