Hi Daniel,

Thank you for looking at the patch again. When I do not use cpu as a field,
I am not able to make it part of the key or value fields. I can only
use cpu in the
filter predicate.

For example, the following trigger does not seem to work:
'hist:key=ltype,cpu:val=latency:sort=ltype,cpu if ltype==0'

But the following works:
'hist:key=ltype,latency:val=hitcount:sort=latency if cpu==1'
