Good point.

(hw_perf_event_init, right?)
Won't this give very funny results for mixed pmu groups?
How about something like:
if (event->pmu && event->pmu != &pmu)
return 0;
That should deal with new events, who do not yet have their pmu set and
for those we know they're for us, but exclude events for other PMUs.
