Thanks, applied and also I added a patch to show that bit when using
-vv, i.e.:

# perf test -vv back
45: Test backward reading from ring buffer :
--- start ---
<SNIP>
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 2
size 112
config 0x98
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 1
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
disabled 1
mmap 1
comm 1
task 1
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1
comm_exec 1
write_backward 1
------------------------------------------------------------
<SNIP>
