Apply the kernel patch that adds several .agg-per-core attributes
Then try to use any cpu/.../ event

% perf stat -e cpu/event=0x3c/ true
invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu/event=0x3c/'

because the PMU parsing bailed out.

With patched perf (either this patch or the patch that adds
the .agg-per-core parsing) it works.
