splitting the patch in logical pieces helps review and distro
backporting

You changed the parsing tool and perf alias code that uses
the new output. IMO it's separate enough to be placed into
separate patches.

I believe the review would have been easier for me if those changes
were separate, also easing my job when backporting this change later
into the distro
