this bit needs more discussion:

'A download site' is way too vague and detached from the perf project.

We want these description files to be in the perf source code, 
somewhere in tools/perf/live-config/arch/x86/ or so, and installed 
during 'make install' - i.e. part of perf project and installed in 
~/.debug or ~/.perf or so.

Those files could be refreshed via 'perf download' and could be 
accessible via kernel.org as well, 'perf download' should pick up 
these files from Linus's latest git repository (via the HTTP 
namespace).

Thanks,

	Ingo
