In "utils/arm-spe.c" we check "if (record->op == ARM_SPE_LD)" so this
ORing could break some of the generated samples.

Can you rename it to ARM_SPE_BRANCH_NOT_TAKEN for consistency?

I'm not sure if we should keep everything in one enum/bitmask. I'm also
looking at adding more of the data from the packets to the record, and
considering refactoring the record structure. I'll share here when I
have something.

Thanks,
