From: Cody P Schafer <redacted>

Enable event specification like:

	pmu/event_name,param1=0x1,param2=0x4/

Assuming that

	/sys/bus/event_source/devices/pmu/events/event_name

Contains something like

	param2=foo,bar=1,param1=baz

hum, so what happened to the '?' ... AFAIU from out last discussion,
you wanted to mark terms which are mandatory and user must provide
values for them.. and I thought the decision was to have following
alias record:

  $ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/pmu/events/event_name
  param2=?,bar=1,param1=?

while perf would scream if any of param1/2 wasnt filled like for:
  pmu/event_name,param1=0x1/
