I'd have to see the patch, but that doesn't feel entirely right, because there is a unique characteristic of software events, compared to hardware or breakpoint events: they are never capacity constrained. In the past, only hardware events were capacity constrained, which meant that all the decisions about whether a group could go on could be done in the hardware PMU backend. Now we have two sources of capacity constraints, so it may be that a group can't go on even if the hardware PMU has capacity. That's going to be somewhat interesting to get completely right, I think.
