I've tested it on a 240 CPUs Xeon system and it looks very useful. Thanks!

1. Just to confirm, if we want to add new fields for debugging purpose,
   schedstat-domain-v1x.h and schedstat-cpu-v1x.h are the only files to
   be touched, right?
2. Although we can filter the output, is it applicable to only track some
   CPUs? Like perf sched schedstat -C 4 record
