where is this patch? I can't find it.

I also find attr<num>:<bit> a bit weird. So far we've used
<perf_event_attr::fieldname>:<bits>, so while initializing anonymous
unions is a bit difficult with 'older' GCCs and we cannot actually do:

struct perf_event_attr {
...
union {
u64 flags;
u64 disabled : 1,
...
__reserved_1 : X;
}
...
};

We could fake it in userspace by allowing things like: flags:23. It
would not be a much worse hack than attr<num>:<bit> I suppose.
