The "perf list --raw Default" only gives the topdown metrics.
The "stalled cycles per insn" is not covered.
The check should skip the line of "stalled cycles per insn" as well.

     3,856,436,920 stalled-cycles-frontend   #   74.09% frontend cycles idle
     1,600,790,871 stalled-cycles-backend    #   30.75% backend  cycles idle
     2,603,501,247 instructions              #    0.50  insns per cycle
                                             #    1.48  stalled cycles
per insn
       484,357,498 branches                  #  283.455 M/sec

The newer Intel CPU doesn't have the stalled-cycles-* events. But it
seems power and older x86 CPU have the events.
