So here it goes a v4, just a minor change to avoid adding another global
variable and make this operation parm like the other parms inside that
struct perf_mem, attached goes the interdiff from your patch to this one
here, ok?

+"perf mem record" runs a command and gathers memory operation data
from it, into perf.data. Perf record options are accepted and are passed through.

Note that on Intel systems the memory latency reported is the use-latency,
