I understood it. But I think we also need to manage all default config
values in only util/config.c.

The reason is that if we individually have default config arrays,
some difference can be made between actual config values and
values of default config arrays. (e.g. if we change default config
values or add new default config items and values)

So IMHO, I suggest that we use default config arrays instead of
actual type values even though its compact.

And if we have default config arrays, we can also show default values as 
below.

     [acme@jouet linux]$ perf config report.queue-size report.children
     report.children=false
     # report.queue-size=18446744073709551615 # Default, not set in 
~/.perfconfig
     [acme@jouet linux]$


Just individually make default config arrays in util/config.c ?

Thanks,
Taeung
