without doubt pmu-tool is a awesome for SW profiling using TMA and get statistical performance data. but it looks more like a collection of useful tools or scripts instead of one unified Swiss Army Knife. would you mind to refactor the way we reorg files and docs in order to give it more hierarchy? here was the proposal come up with a draft:

pls feel free to comments more and I'm happy to help if you agree with the idea above. ( maybe need to be dicussed to make it perfect)
