  - Fix handling of settings in ~/.perfconfig versus the ones passed
    in the command line

  - Re-render title bar after switching back from script browser.

  - Fix options man page, document some missing ones.

perf probe:

  He Zhe:

  - Check return value of strlist__add() for -ENOMEM.

tools UAPI:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Sync x86's msr-index.h copy with the kernel sources.

  - Update tools's copy of x86's kvm.h headers.
