I've been thinking.. should hpp_formats and hpp_list be merged? something like:

struct perf_hpp_list {
	struct list_head nodes;
	int levels;
}

sturct perf_hpp_list_node {
	int level;
	struct list_head fields;
	struct list_head sorts;
	int nr_sort_keys;
};

it seems wrong to me that your hierarchy code and current one
got in separate paths.. we could have the new hierarchy support
struct above being used in current non-hierarchy code just
by using single level

I haven't thought all this through.. just an idea ;-)
