Congratulations on sending your first patch! Anup is this summer's
Google Summer-of-Code contributor for the Linux perf tool. I'm sure
everyone on the lists is looking forward to your contributions!

It can be a good idea to test for failure and early exit. It would
avoid being as indented in the following if.

This assumes the jq program is available and it isn't by default on my
distribution. We could test:
if ! which jq; then
but it may be better to depend on Python and json.loads - Python is
already a dependency for a number of the tests.

Thanks,
Ian
