sorry for late reply, but I can't no longer apply this:

	patching file tools/perf/builtin-stat.c
	Hunk #1 FAILED at 572.
	Hunk #2 FAILED at 581.
	2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file tools/perf/builtin-stat.c.rej
	patching file tools/perf/util/evlist.c
	Hunk #1 FAILED at 425.
	1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file tools/perf/util/evlist.c.rej

ah, I see the patchset got already merged.. not sure why I'm doing review then ;-)

thanks,
