could you just pass NULL in here instead of NULL?

hum, is this really needed? I think you could just pass '1' as value,
because you care only if the item is hashed, right?
in any case the value is the current stack address of the
struct perf_missing_pmu_features pmu_features = { true };
so it might as well be just '1' ... I was confused at the beggining
and looked for the reason of this struct ;-)
we do that already in util/stat.c
