SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/1 tip] perf top: Move hard coded list to /etc/perfconfig/symbols.skip

Generally, the way I've found is best to handle things like this is to either:

A. Have a fall-back list to use if the file isn't found, or
B. Start with the fall-back list of symbols to filter, then add to
them via /etc/... and ~/.perf/...

I like approaching things from the 'everything works even in a
broken/hasty installation' point of view, and it's paid off for me.
Sane defaults are a wonderfully useful thing.
