Sure. Will rephrase it.

I guess it can. Will check it out.

Yes right. I will remove it.

Since these Nest PMUs does not support sampling. IIUC, "perf record" 
interface uses
the event start/stop ops. Incase of perf stat interface event add/del 
interface are used to enable and disable the counters. Now, when we 
disable or delete, we update the event counter with the delta value.
