One minor nit:

This ends up putting the HWID packet for every single time the event is 
scheduled on the CPU and thus we have :

$ perf report -D | grep OUTPUT_HW_ID
...
AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID events:         55  (18.3%)

We could do the above step only once per CPU for the lifetime of the 
event by book keeping the info in event_data. With that we get, one
record per CPU and:

$ perf report -D | grep OUTPUT_HW_ID
...
AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID events:          5  ( 1.9%)

Here is a quick patch. We can queue this separately if you all are Ok 
with this. Thoughts ?
