ok, this is something i wanted to revisit eventually - the
'perf.data' name sucks a bit - as .data postfix is quite unspecific.

Perhaps trace.perf is a better default name, and all files would
have the .perf postfix?

I've Cc:-ed a number of folks who might have an opinion about this -
what would be the best default naming and postfix for perf binary
files?
