Hi Andi,
Couple of questions/comments about EVENTMAP and the "core" suffix.
Is EVENTMAP a new environment variable ? If specific to PERF, should
we prefix it with "PERF_" to avoid collision?
Would all/many architectures need this "-core" suffix or is that Intel
specific ?
Is the intent that architectures that don't need this should simply
never set EVENTMAP variable ?

As with XDG_CACHE_HOME in perf-download.txt, can you please add a note
about usage of EVENTMAP in the man page.
