Thanks for checking! If you have the perf_pmu__is_hybrid check then
the filter only applies PMUs that are hybrid. Firstly, why have
is_hybrid in struct perf_pmu if you use this function that searches a
list?  Secondly, the point of this change is to make the PMU name
filtering a generic feature rather than one limited to specifically
PMUs called cpu_core and cpu_atom.

Thanks,
Ian
