now don't I look silly, I had just sent a patch to linux-kernel
documenting the files but putting it in
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices
rather than testing. My search through git log somehow missed when this
got added.
Oh I see, it came through the Power people and not through perf_event,
that's how I missed it.
I guess I should complain about the non-hex value. I'm more worried that
the perf people are going to start leaking more complex perf-tool specific
syntax into the files.
