Jiri, Stephane, this is the patchkit I mentioned in the context of doing
away with perf.data headers and instead package everything as userspace
PERF_RECORD_ metadata events.

Song, please add Jiri and Namhyung in future perf patchkits, they are
listed as perf tools reviewers in MAINTAINANERS and Jiri also is working
on something directly related.

Thanks,

- Arnaldo
