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
-concatenation of the `Umask value` and `Event number` provided by the
-processor's manufacturer. The possible values for this field are
-processor-specific. The `<name>` field is used to associate a clearer
-name to the counter.
