Re: [PATCH] perf parse: Allow names to start with digits

[Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>]

Hello,

just making sure my mail didn't get lost -- would anyone have time to
look at this?

I don't mind if it's slow or another solution is taken, I'd just like to
be able to use 9p probes with perf eventually :)

Thanks!
