I'm not sure about perf_session as an argument to get machine,
it seems ok but not for the case in perf_event__process_attr
where you call evsel__new and have no way to get perf_sesion
I think... and I think you need to set it up in there for
the pipe workflow to work with your new sort fields

maybe we could be find with just perf_env pointer there?
but perf_session makes more sense to me.. maybe we could
change event_attr_op to pass it as an argument..
