Hi Jiri,
Thanks for the suggestions.
Below is an approach I came up with for adding dynamic sort key based on architecture support.
With this patch, perf report for mem mode will display new sort key only in supported archs.
Please help to review if this approach looks good. I have created this on top of my current set. If this looks fine,
I can include this in version2 patch set.
