This is a first move of the perf code into a set of libraries, which allow the implementation of other external tools.

The first users of the perf libraries would be:

• perf itself,
• the RAS daemon.

The commit includes:

• the move of the code from util to lib/perf_util,
• creation of Makefile in perf_util,
• update of Makefile.perf to build a library for perf_util,
• fix of the include paths, eg. "../perf.h" to <perf.h>, "util/hist.h" to <hist.h>

Can't you just go moving what you actually use? Or do you really plan to use all that?

You asked me that same question when I was doing that. :-)

And I told Jean repeatedly that this needs to be splitted slowly, in smaller libraries like we've been discussing it numerous times.
