[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: Add --debug optionto set debug variable

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Mon Jul 14 2014 - 17:48:13 EST


Adding --debug option as a way to setup debug variables.
Starting with support for verbose, more will come.

It's possible to use it now with report command:
$ perf --debug verbose ...
$ perf --debug verbose=2 ...

I'll need this support to add separated debug variable
for ordered events change in order to separate debug
output out of standard verbose stream.
