This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes
for perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of
trailing stack information with faster speed.
I like the patch. I have a similar option in my perf-sched-timehist
command, and I have a patch somewhere for perf-script.
It would be even better to pass this arg kernel side and limit the stack
depth at data collection time.

Why not add the option to perf-top as well? copy-paste.
