Btw., I'd really like to use this feature all the time, so could we please 
simplify this somewhat via a subcommand, via something like:

  perf record branches ./branches 27

or if 'record' subcommands are not possible anymore:

  perf record --branches ./branches 27

and in this case 'perf annotate' should automatically pick up the fact that the 
perf.data was done with --branches - i.e. the highlighting should be automagic.

I.e. the only thing a user has to remember to use all this is a single 
'--branches' option to perf record - instead of a complex sequence for perf record 
and another sequence for perf annotate.

It would also be nice to have 'perf top --branches', with the built-in annotation 
showing the highlighted branch heat map information and highlighting.

Thanks,

	Ingo
