FWIW I originally tried this to include the raw JSON files, but Ingo objected
and wanted the files to be split up[1] and avoiding redundant headers.
That's why we ended up with the "compiled" format.

You mean for backports? The assumption was that perf backports would backport
any perf changes for new formats too.

In general I generally discourage any perf tools backport, people should just use
a new version of the perf tool on old kernels.

In principle the scripts could be included, but without the raw files it would
be somewhat pointless.
