I think you should call this: PEBS v3 and not v2.
We already have 2 existing formats: core and nhm.
You're adding the hsw format.
So either you add it as struct pebs_record_hsw or you
cleanup the naming of all the structs and call them:
struct pebs_record_v1 /* core */
struct pebs_record_v2 /* nhm, snb, ivb */
struct pebs_record_v3 /* hsw */
That would seem more consistent to me.
As for using precise=2 for eventingrip, I am fine with this.
