From: Andi Kleen <a...@linux.intel.com>
Add a --branch-history option to perf report that changes all
the settings necessary for using the branches in callstacks.
This is just a short cut to make this nicer to use, it does
not enable any functionality by itself.
v2: Change sort order. Rename option to --branch-history to
be less confusing.
