Unfortunately I hastily deleted the 0/8 thread while on vacation last
week (gmail on Android thing), so I apologize for shifting the discussion.

With a little bit of hacking on top of your patches I was able to get
the trace-cmd plugins working with perf. e.g.,
        qemu-kvm 11971 [001] 30401.777391: kvm_apic_accept_irq: apicid 0
vec 239 (Fixed|edge)
        qemu-kvm 11971 [001] 30401.777405: kvm_inj_virq: irq 239
        qemu-kvm 11971 [001] 30401.777415: kvm_entry: vcpu 0
        qemu-kvm 11971 [001] 30401.777430: kvm_exit: reason APIC_ACCESS
rip 0xffffffff8101dbe4 info 10b0 0

So, what is the next step for making this a reality -- i.e., getting the
common code into a lib in tools?
