Could you please split this patch:
- pure code movement
- time accounting changes
- event_filter_match() stuff
- cgroup thing
>From a quick reading it doesn't look bad, but I want an ACK from the
cgroup people -- specifically if they're OK with the filedesc juggling
thing, because I know the sysfs people objected to such tricks.
Also, it might make sense to add a CONFIG_PERF_CGROUP, even if you want
it automagically set if CONFIG_PERF && CONFIG_CGROUP, its easier to find
all related code if its under a single CONFIG_var.
