I think we should do this earlier when reading the mask,
not at the moment we just print it, like we do for other
types.. maybe we could do this as an extra bit for
perf_event__swap_ops[PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE] function

also there's print_sample_iregs in builtin-script.c that's
most likely affected as well

thanks,
