Thanks Ian for your detailed explanation. I understood your point right now.

I originally thought there could be no such requirement that parses a
perf.data file in a machine with totally different arch. But it seems there
is as you said.

Then I suppose we need to do same thing for the
perf_reg_value()/perf_simd_reg_value() just like perf_reg_name() does, but
currently the "arch" string comes from perf_env__arch() helper which should
be arch of perf running instead of the arch which is sampled on.

Anyway, I think we can make the retirement of __weak functions as the 1st
step. As for the replacement from cpuid or env->arch to EM_HOST or
something else (I'm not sure how much complex it would be, but suppose it
should not be sample), we'd better to have an independent patchs-set to
implement it since it has no direct relationship with current SIMD
registers sampling support.
