this is a handy shortcut, but I think that sometimes showing that one
can also do it using the test description is handy, i.e. I forgot the
number of it was reordered, doing it like:

[root@zoo linux]# perf test syscall
 2: detect openat syscall event                              : Ok
 3: detect openat syscall event on all cpus                  : Ok
14: Generate and check syscalls:sys_enter_openat event fields: Ok
[root@zoo linux]#

Also works, which, for your case would be 'perf test x86', oops, that
would also catch:

[root@zoo linux]# perf test x86
 6: x86 rdpmc test                                           : Ok
[root@zoo linux]#
