There are no cases where a function receives (evsel, evlist) with that
evlist containing that evsel :-\

Perhaps this will be the first, i.e. rename perf_session_env to
perf_env, then store it in evlist->env, then when processing something
where we have a evsel or evlist we can access that env from:

evsel->evlist->env;

Will continue after lunch, trying to prototype what I just described.

What I have is in a tmp.perf/core branch in my tree..
