Subject: perf timechart: Add a power-only mode

For doing work on the Linux power management components,
I need to make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently,
this then results in a HUGE svg file, with mostly
process data that isn't interesting.

This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart
that only outputs the CPU power section of the SVG;
this significantly reduces the size of the SVG file,
making even 30+ second traces viewable with inkscape.

As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text
size is decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in
deep enough to show text this small, but it reduces
inkscape compute time.

hmm, why test is now "cpu <= numcpus" ?

if this cpu is offline

at this point numcpus is the highest number cpu...
and the graph would miss the "closing" frequency.

1) taking cpu 0 offline is stupid ;-)
(really, don't do that, there's only bad things to come from it)
2) if that file does not exist the fallback is graceful, we just use
the highest frequency we saw in the trace instead.

perf timechart: Add a power-only mode

For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to
make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a
HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting.

This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only
outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly
reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces
viewable with inkscape.

As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is
decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text
this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.
