It is going to change the behavior for a far larger set of users. I'm
also concerned that:

```
$ perf list
...
cpu-cycles OR cpu/cpu-cycles/ [Kernel PMU event]
...
```

implies that cpu/cpu-cycles/ is a synonym for cpu-cycles, which is no
longer true (or pick another event from sysfs whose name is the same
as a legacy event). I'm not sure what a fix in perf list for this
would look like.

Thanks,
Ian
