For some tracers the event carries information to be embedded
in the private structure returned by setup_aux().

As such changing the first parameter to be of type struct perf_event *
so that all the necessary information can be conveyed.  Also changing
current customer of the API to reflect the modification.

You need to mention here what these tracers are and which bits of
event's information they need in their setup_aux(). Right now I can look
it up in this patchset, but when this code gets merged it will make it
easier to understand why this change was made.

Now, I understand that you're interested in event::attr in your
setup_aux(), I have more comments on that in that other patch. :)

Cheers,
