Thanks John, for bringing this to my attention. Yes I will definitely look into this feature and will try to rework our s390 json files when this seems beneficial. I did not notice this patch on the linux-perf-users mailing list. Was it there for review? I do ask this because recently I have nearly no traffic on this list in my reader, so I wonder if there is something wrong with my mailing list subscription or setup.
