But if we add a new core type "cpu_whatever" later, we have to hardcode
the new name to the perf tool, right? Users have to update the perf tool
for the new platforms, otherwise I think the new type will be treated as
an uncore PMU.

Since the hybrid is Intel only, I think it may be better move the
is_pmu_hybrid() to X86 specifc code. For the Intel only code, we already
have a naming rule for the hybrid name, "cpu_$". So we don't need to
update the tool for every new CPU type.

Thanks,
Kan
