 It is also possible to enable PMU counters by raw ID using the
-`perf:cpu:raw:r<N>:<name>` or `perf:thread:raw:r<N>:<name>` format for
-the kernel and user-space respectively. `<N>` is a hexadecimal event
-descriptor which is the same format as used by perf-record(1): a

-processor-specific. The `<name>` field is used to associate a clearer
