Do you really need the new type? Can't you use DUMMY for this?

It works fine with dummy, but user space code looked odd when
it perf_event_open-s dummy events and starts reading them.
So I thought either to add alias:
PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT = PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY
or
add new number like I did above.
New number is cheap and I saw that dummy used for probing,
so went with new number to disambiguate.
