This is a simple helper script to extract TLB flush stats from the a
simpletrace file and plot the results.

It is not really clear what this argument is for. I guess you are
saying how many cpus the guest from which trace file was generated
had? What happens if we pass in less number of vcpus than used for
generation?

What does latency here indicate? I tried this argument on a sample
trace file I generated, and it had three empty boxes.

The help text for 'events' file here should be something like 'the
trace events file'.

Thanks,

Yeah it's a bit of a hack. I need to know how many vcpus there are so
when we save an "all vcpu" event we can set the event in:

    def __save_queue(self, vcpu, record):
        self.flush_total += 1
        # FIXME: don't seem to see -1
        if vcpu > 0x7fffffff:
            self.flush_all += 1
            for i in range(0, self.nvcpus):
                self.vcpu_last[i].append(record)
        else:
            self.vcpu_last[vcpu].append(record)

Time just tracks the culmlative total of flush events over time where as
latency gives a distribution of time from queuing the flush event to it
being processed.

Good catch, will fix.
