Surely one of you knew that ;-)

Anyway, I still think it stinks, and as pointed out, it violates the
one-value-per-file sysfs rule.

I really see no reason why you cannot do this in userspace, have
tools/perf/ provide a library that does this for all supported platforms
with a common interface or something.
