A couple of things to improve for your next interactions with the Linux community:

1) Using a cover letter, even for small changes, is always a good idea.
2) RB tags should be picked up publicly rather than done internally and added to
a patchset.
3) Keep patches semantically grouped.  Here patches 04 and 05 have nothing to do
with 01, 02 and 03.

Moreover Arnaldo queues changes to the perf tools but I don't see him CC'ed to
this patchset.  As such he will not see your work.  Ask James about how to
proceed when submitting patches to the perf tools.

Thanks,
Mathieu
