SubjectRe: [PATCH 01/12] perf, x86: Add PEBSv2 record support
> I think you should call this: PEBS v3 and not v2.

v2 is the version number in the enumeration register.
It would be confusing to use a different numbering than Intel does.
That's also the numbering that is printed in dmesg.

I personally don't see a lot of need for a rename, but I can send
a followon patch to rename nhm to v1 and core to v0. I will do that
separately because people are already complaining that the patchkit
is too big, and it doesn't really affect the functionality.
