Sorry, I completely missed these two emails for some reason.

I finally have the fixes for the metrics patch [1] as it took a while to 
verify some wrong equations that were found too. I was planning to submit 
v2 of the whole patchset but I can see you picked all of them already.

How should we do this? The original metrics patch had issues that John and 
Ian pointed out. Would it be best if you dropped it from perf-tools-next 
branch since it's not required by other patches and once John and Ian acks 
the fixed version, you could pick up the new one? Btw, I just submitted v2 
of the metric patch [2]
