I have been following this thread, and, not knowing very much about
perf, I would think that the userland can easily open a second file
(the dynamic posix clock chardev) in order to get these time stamps.

I don't yet see a need for that, but if we do, then it should work in
a generic way, and not as a list of special cases, like we saw in the
patch.

Thanks,
Richard
