We definitely misunderstood each other - apologies for that.

This code is ran just after the event list is created. In order to
avoid this step and have the config bits set right from the beginning
one would have to explicitly specify the options within the '/' '/' of
the cs_etm event on the command line, which would be cumbersome and
error prone. Instead this code guarantees that all options needed for
a CPU-wide session are set properly.

Back when I wrote this code my thinking was to keep it private since
nobody else in the perf tools had a need for it. But I now that
Arnaldo added the header back in August [1] there is no need for a
private version.
Arnaldo, do you want a patch on top of the current patchset or a new set?
