For patch 1 and 2,
Tested-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Minor neat. Should we update document as well? May be something like:

tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt

--user-regs::
Similar to -I, but capture user registers at sample time. To list the available
user registers use --user-regs=\?.
