Platforms like arm64 could capture privilege level information for all the branch records. Hence this adds a new element in the struct branch_entry to record the privilege level information, which could be requested through a new event.attr.branch_sample_type based flag PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE. This flag helps user choose whether privilege information is captured.
