There could be different types of memory in the system. E.g normal
System Memory, Persistent Memory. To understand how the workload maps to
those memories, it's important to know the I/O statistics of them.  Perf
can collect physical addresses, but those are raw data.  It still needs
extra work to resolve the physical addresses.  Provide a script to
facilitate the physical addresses resolving and I/O statistics.

Profile with MEM_INST_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS or MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS
event if any of them is available.

Look up the /proc/iomem and resolve the physical address.  Provide
memory type summary.

Here is an example output:

  # perf script report mem-phys-addr
  Event: mem_inst_retired.all_loads:P
  Memory type                                    count   percentage
  ----------------------------------------  -----------  -----------
  System RAM                                        74        53.2%
  Persistent Memory                                 55        39.6%
