Subject[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: Add more detail about buildid-list in Document of perf-kvm.
Date
As the buildid is read from /sys/kernel/notes, then if we use perf kvm buildid-list
with a perf data file captured by perf kvm record with --guestkallsyms and --guestmodules,
there is no result in output. This patch add a explanation about it and add a limit
of using perf kvm buildid-list.
