Yep, I wrote it running 'perf test' at each commit. It is somewhat
laborious for me to test on hybrid, so I didn't test smaller things on
that, but I'm guessing that's not a concern anyway. I hope to follow
up with adding an ability to have a non-sysfs directory containing
fake PMUs for testing.
Thanks,
Ian
