Enable the perf exclude_idle event attribute to avoid waking
possilby sleeping CPUS. The counter values are updated when CPU
enters idle. If the CPU is idle when perf reads the current
event value (of an exclude idle event) then the value from
when the CPU went idle is returned.
This commit supercedes the commits below. The context for the
commits below changed too much to enable cherry-picking.
