Thanks, applied to perf-tools-next, there was a minimal fuzz but I fixed
it up:

⬢ [acme@...lbox perf-tools-next]$ patch -p1 < ./v2_20241212_irogers_perf_test_stat_avoid_hybrid_assumption_when_virtualized.mbx
patching file tools/perf/tests/shell/stat.sh
Hunk #1 succeeded at 187 with fuzz 2 (offset 24 lines).
