perf machine: Workaround missing maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines


On x86_64 the PTI entry trampolines are not in the kernel map created by
perf tools. That results in the addresses having no symbols and prevents
annotation.  It also causes Intel PT to have decoding errors at the
trampoline addresses.

Workaround that by creating maps for the trampolines.

At present the kernel does not export information revealing where the
trampolines are.  Until that happens, the addresses are hardcoded.
