Subject: [PATCH 0/2] perf_counter: fix the group mess


With these two patches the below proglet gives:

# ./test
EVNT: 0xffffffff811c0f4c scale: nan ID: 37 CNT: 1006180 ID: 38 CNT: 1010230 ID: 39 CNT: 1010332 ID: 40 CNT: 1010420

I can't seem to catch the SIGIO thing, but at least all the counters report
more or less the same value.  Also, that scale stuff doesn't seem to quite work
yet.. I'll be poking at that too.
