This is really great, thanks for taking the time for a substantial
clean up. I had difficulty applying the patches to the perf-tools-next
branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/log/?h=perf-tools-next
using patch and dealing with rejects I was able to test.

I think there are follow up patches that clean up the ABI, allow >1
table at a time, .. but those things are best saved for a follow up.

Thanks,
Ian
