But it deals with binaries, and what we need is probe points. So maybe
it's worth add a new command like:

perf probe-cache [add|del|enable|disable] [<options>] [<path>|<build-id>] <spec>...
or perf probe-cache list [<options>]


This way we can handle both of kprobes and uprobes (so SDTs). What do
you think?

Thanks,
Namhyung
