right, that numbering is there to ease the search for test,
and is printed for -v option

the 'index' field should be fine, and please print it
out for '-v' option

that looks fine.. also we could use just generic tracepoints
like the 'sched' ones

we could #ifdef the pmu name for s390 and other archs

or make it more fancy and detect it by using pmu.c code,
please check perf_pmu__scan,perf_pmu__find functions
