so I think perf stat expect raw values in there and does the
scaling by itself, please check following code:

read_counters
  read_affinity_counters
    read_counter_cpu
      read_single_counter
        evsel__read_counter

  perf_stat_process_counter
    process_counter_maps
      process_counter_values
        perf_counts_values__scale


perhaps we could export perf_counts_values__scale if it'd be any help
