Wasn't this done in the previous patch?

If we go with my suggestion from patch 1 this would become "contextid".
I think what follows below is all good.

I don't think we need this as part of the current patchset. Back in the days I
thought it would be a good idea to use the ETMv3.5/PTM configuration bits but in
hindsight it wasn't. That's what happens when your crystal ball isn't working.
That being said we can start treating the perf_event_attr::config bits
arbitrarily. Someone pointed out that it might get confusing but I don't think
it is anything that can't be overcomed with good in-line documentation.
