O don't have how to test this as I dont have:

access("/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_iio_0", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, ""..., 37Unsupported uncore pmu configuration
)                     = 37
write(2, ""..., 43
 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
)                     = 43
write(2, ""..., 1
<SNIP>
write(2, ""..., 84                          measure I/O performance metrics provided by arch/platform
)                     = 84
exit_group(129)                         = ?
+++ exited with 129 +++
root@x1:~# strace -s0 perf stat --iostat --timeout 1000

Could someone with access to hardware with this capability to try this
patch and provide a  Tested-by?
