SubjectRe: [PATCH 15/15] perf, tools: Add perf stat --transaction v3

The counter is check pointed on a transaction start, and set back to
the checkpoint when an abort happens. This allows to count the cycles
wasted in aborts, when you subtract from cycles-t.

But you have cycles-t and tx-start?

I can make el-start, cycles-ct optional

I'm not sure that would be acceptable to the perf maintainers.
Although I'm just guessing, I haven't heard any comments on
this patch recently.
