I noticed that "iostat" commond and cmd_iostat() callback function is
not registered in cmd_struct in perf.c. So I think "perf iostat list"
perhaps can not work properly.

I also test this patchset on x86 platform, and here is the log:

root@ubuntu:/home/lq# ./perf iostat list
perf: 'iostat' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.
root@ubuntu:/home/lq# ./perf stat --iostat
^C
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

So how does following perf iostat list work, did I miss something?

Thanks,
