Ok, I've merged Steve's branch and tested a few common filters with perf:

* irq numbers on irq tracepoints
* fd on sys_enter_close
* prev_comm on sched_switch (to test string)

they all work well.

You can pull the branch from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
	perf/core
