Yeah, totally.

But, if we see a bunch of 4k TLB hit events, it's still handy to know
that those 4k TLB hits originated from a 2M page table entry. This
series just makes sure that perf has the data about the page table
mapping sizes regardless of what the microarchitecture does with it.

I'm just saying we need to make the descriptions in this perf feature
specifically about the page tables, not the TLB.
