You can tie a handler to an event; see builtin-trace.c for example 
(evsel->handler = handler). Then have the sample handler call it (e.g, 
see trace__process_sample). Then you don't have to check event names on 
each pass like this and just do event based processing.

Why isn't that set properly kernel side when the sample is generated?
