It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I include -a or not and
the perf man page says

-a, --all-cpus
system-wide collection from all CPUs (default if no target is
specified)

However I'm not sure what target means in this case as there is no
mention of it anywhere else in the perf-stat man page. My guess is thread
or process provided by -p or -t. So default applies in the above command line.
Doesn't hurt to be more explicit though, so I've added -a.

The command line is wrong however as I failed to update the device name
for the 2nd and 3rd events.
