sorry for delay
ok, so we first fix the cpus on hybrid events and then
propagate maps.. I guess it's ok, because it's in libperf
and that has no notion of hybrid so far
could you please rename that function so it's also obvious
it's for hybrid only
evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus ? not sure ;-)
and add some comment with example to explain what the
function is doing
thanks,
