+Get the current perf events setting or enable/disable specific perf
+event for a guest domain.
+
+Perf is a performance analyzing tool in Linux, and it can instrument
+CPU performance counters, tracepoints, kprobes, and uprobes (dynamic
+tracing). Perf supports a list of measurable events, and can measure
+events coming from different sources. For instance, some event are
+pure kernel counters, in this case they are called software events,
+including context-switches, minor-faults, etc.. Now dozens of events
+from different sources can be supported by perf.
+
+Currently only QEMU/KVM supports I<--enable> and I<--disable>.
+B<eventName> is a string listing one or more events, in the format
+of name|name|name. Only "cmt" event is supported presently. CMT is
+a PQos (Platform Qos) feature to monitor the usage of cache by
+applications running on the platform.
