hum, I'm inclined to keep using the perf.data as default
of whatever comes out of the perf.. and do the 'perf report'
proxy based on the data you described in the next comment

well perf report wants to display sampling data which are
not present.. probabbly complaining about sample_type I guess

I think 'perf report' could check on perf.data and if it
detects stat data proxy the handling to the perf stat report

but not sure how to handle both commands options differencies ATM

right, I'll those
