Corey,
Glad to see this patch. This functionality had been on my wishlist for some
time. This is needed to validate the multi-group support. I have a few comments,
see below.

I'd rather not have a static variable here. This can lead to error
if someone reuses that code in a multi-threaded app. See below
for an alternative.

To avoid the static in perf_setup_list_events(), I would rather have something
like:
old_num = num;
num = perf_setup_list_events(options.events[grp], &fds, num);
if (num == old_num)
exit(1);
That way the function is re-entrant. And in case the return value is bogus,
the caller can either decide to continue with fewer groups or fail.
