I'll NAK any external 'download area' (and I told that Andi
before): tools/perf/event-tables/ or so is a good enough
'download area' with fast enough update cycles.
If any 'update' of event descriptions is needed it can
happen through the distro package mechanism, or via a
simple 'git pull' if it's compiled directly.
Lets not overengineer this with any dependence on an
external site and with a separate update mechanism - lets
just get the tables into tools/ and see it from there...
Thanks,
Ingo
