Hmm... I am a bit concerned for the evsel__get_config_val() usage
throughout the series.

evsel__get_config_val() returns a whole config value rather than the
bit field specified by the format name.  If other bits (but not the
"pa_enable" bit) are set in the same config set, would it wrongly set
the PHYS_ADDR sample bit?

Seems to me, for reading specific format, perf_pmu__format_bits() is
more suitable than evsel__get_config_val().

Thanks,
