3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> commit 5bae0250237f7a5ec4355f9920701de247b8db91 upstream. For case where all we need is an evlist with just an "dummy" evsel, like in some 'perf test' entries.
