Whitespace problem?

Btw, as a generic wrapper shouldn't it handle common fields also? If
you care about performance, how about switching the order of finding
fields in question, i.e.:

struct format_field *field = pevent_find_field(evsel->tp_format, name);

if (!field) {
field = pevent_find_common_field(evsel->tp_format, name);
if (!field)
return NULL;
}

Ditto.

Thanks,
