Comment 10 for bug 1707875

The patches identified here are already in bionic. However we have not enabled py bindings for perf in bionic. This has been the case since 13.04 days, and the reason for this is py (like 2.x vs 3.x) build dependencies, and it is unlikely that this support will be added going forward. jsalisbury (kernel team) is looking into this again to make sure that is still the case.
