Oh, wait, no it doesn't.

It makes just the plain "perf record" without any arguments work,
which was what I was testing because I was lazy.

So now

    $ perf record sleep 1

works fine. But

    $ perf record -e cycles:pp sleep 1

is still completely broken (with or without ":p" and ":pp").

So no. That still needs to be fixed, or the whole "prefer sysfs/JSON
by default" needs to be reverted.
