Ok thanks, I should have had a closer look at the binary format.

It may make sense at some time to provide a library so that other tools
can make use of the most convenient functions in tools/perf/utils/*
as well?

I'll have a look at the powertop perf implementations I wanted to
look at anyway and try to understand the stuff a bit better.

Thanks,
