and broke lguest.
For 2.6.37 we simply cut & paste the initialization code into
lguest (da32dac10126 "lguest: populate initial_page_table"), now
we fix it properly by doing that initialization before the
paravirt jump.

perf timechart: Adjust perf timechart to the new power events
builtin-timechart must only pass -e power:xy events if they are supported by
the running kernel, otherwise try to fetch the old power:power{start,end}
events.
For this I added the tiny helper function:
int is_valid_tracepoint(const char *event_string)
to parse-events.[hc], which could be more generic as an interface and support
hardware/software/... events, not only tracepoints, but someone else could
extend that if needed...
