Andi,
thanks a lot for working on the auto-fdo bootstrap. It is badly needed to
have some coverage for this feature. I don't think I can approve the
build machinery changes.

Using autofdo is currently something difficult. It requires using the
model specific branches taken event, which differs on different CPUs.
The example shown in the manual requires a special patched version of
perf that is non standard, and also will likely not work everywhere.
