yes, sorry, I shouldn't have been so grumpy about it.
After spending 45 minutes digging through the kernel source and other documentation it all makes sense now. The existing manpage even does a mildly accurate job of explaining the situation. It's just I have enough trouble keeping up with the large number of recent perf related patches without having to spend a lot of time decoding cryptic Changelogs.
