Add support for perf kvm stat on arm64 platform.

Example:
 # perf kvm stat report

Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs:

    VM-EXIT    Samples  Samples%     Time%    Min Time    Max Time         Avg time

   DABT_LOW     661867    98.91%    40.45%      2.19us   3364.65us      6.24us ( +-   0.34% )
        IRQ       4598     0.69%    57.44%      2.89us   3397.59us   1276.27us ( +-   1.61% )
        WFx       1475     0.22%     1.71%      2.22us   3388.63us    118.31us ( +-   8.69% )
   IABT_LOW       1018     0.15%     0.38%      2.22us   2742.07us     38.29us ( +-  12.55% )
      SYS64        180     0.03%     0.01%      2.07us    112.91us      6.57us ( +-  14.95% )
      HVC64         17     0.00%     0.01%      2.19us    322.35us     42.95us ( +-  58.98% )

Total Samples:669155, Total events handled time:10216387.86us.

I'm not finding the actual patch, just this reply from you, lets try
with b4 using this message Message-Id... Magic! But it isn't applying,
can you please refresh the patch to what is in my perf/core branch?
