Considering that perf and its subcommands have so many parameters, the
documentation is always the first stop for perf beginners. Fixing some
spelling errors will relax the eyes of some readers a little bit.

When the event is passed as list, the default events should be listed as
per 'perf mem record -e list'. Previous behavior is:
$ perf c2c record -e list
failed: event 'list' not found, use '-e list' to get list of available events
Usage: perf c2c record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf c2c record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. Use 'perf mem record -e list' to list available events
$
New behavior:
$ perf c2c record -e list
ldlat-loads : available
ldlat-stores : available
v3: is a rebase.
v2: addresses review comments by Jiri Olsa.

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can
break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks
in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it
may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples
with stitched LBRs are huge.
Add an option to enable the approach.

PowerPC hardware does not have a builtin latency filter (--ldlat) for
the "mem-load" event and perf_mem_events by default includes
"/ldlat=30/" which is causing a failure on PowerPC. Refactor the code to
support "perf mem/c2c" on PowerPC.
This patch depends on kernel side changes done my Madhavan:

It seems to be the most used argument for -c option so far. In the
beginning when you want to have the overall process report, so it makes
sense to make it the default one.

Currently we display the cacheline list sorted on remote HITMs by
default.
The problem is that they might not be always counted and 'perf c2c
report' displays an empty output. Thus it's more convenient to display
and sort the cacheline list based on the total of HITMs and have the
best change to see data in the default report run.

Normally we limit the main list to contain only entries with HITM %
value > 0.0005, but it might be useful to display all captured entries.
