I am thinking what can be added to perf tools....

Seems the average load latency values for each data source and data
linear address is useful.

We may add these support to perf stat or perf record/report.

Any other idea?

data source			average load latency(cycles)
=========			=============================
Unknown L3			xxx
L1-local			xxx
L2-snoop			xxx
....
....
L3-miss,remote,exclusive        xxx
IO                              xxx
Uncached memory                 xxx


data linear address		avergage load latency(cycles)
===================		=============================
xxxxxxx				xxx
xxxxxxx				xxx
xxxxxxx				xxx
....
....
