Ingo, Jiri, Andi, Can we get this patchset merged please ? It is a step forward in eliminating raw event codes right ? We added hundreds of events to sysfs for Power7. We don't want to do the same for Power8 because this JSON file solution is clearly better. But we currently have a regression in functionality from Power7 to Power8 :-( Even if 'perf download' is left out this patchset is still useful IMHO. Users (specially those who currently struggle with raw codes, are highly qualified and) could wget the JSON files as and when needed. Being able to install the JSON files and download updates is a big plus, but is something thse users can live without for now.
