This mostly looks good to me, but I have one niggling concern with the ABI:

How does perf tool deal with overlapping fields like this? It seems like
quite a bad idea to allow things like "event=0xffff,subevent=0" when they
are no longer distinct and I don't _think_ any other drivers do this.

Can you remove 'event' and 'real_event' for now, or are they needed?
