sorry for delay, I finished my attr tests fixes, you can check
them in my perf/attr_test_2 branch.. still need to write changelogs ;-)

it passes for me now, however we still might need few fixes
due to different HW and supported events.. could you please
test that on your system?

I'll post the changes soon

thanks,
