This all makes sense and looks good to me. I believe perf isn't
directly depending on libtracefs and gets the dependency from
libtraceevent. Older libtraceevents didn't have libtracefs so just
warning in this case makes sense to me. I just wanted to speak my
thoughts out loud in case I was missing something.

Thanks,
Ian
