If I understand all the things correct -- you don't need to check for ','
after panic. It seems so. Because we're switching to perf_events I suppose
we may drop expecting "lapic,ioapic" or whatever here? Or there is an idea
to parse say "panic,software" (ie to switch to software events by default)?

Though strictly speaking my question in rather unrelated to this patch
agenda :)
