Yup. Theoretically, cargo and rustc that come with debian buster might
work, but I haven't tested them. You will also want to install the python
dev packages. power-instruction-analyzer works best in a venv, but you can
work around that (as Luke likes to).

see the readme.md file for additional instructions.

if you want to build the version of power-instruction-analyzer that tests
native power9 instructions (not necessary for or used by the python
bindings), you will need a recent nightly version of rust (they haven't
decided that inline assembly is stable yet), obtainable through the rustup
command, and you will want to run the gen-output.sh script to build and run
it.
