well, the aliasing works on sysfs filename base.. so when you specify
event=str
'str' file is looked up in 'events' dir.
We use '_' in file names and '-' in event symbol names. I thought it might be
confusing allowing just '_' so I added also the '-' version.
I could keep just the '-' version.. with some more work on kernel ATTR
function names ;) but it seems like common sysfs practise to use '_'.
