Yeah, this looks more reasonable I think. The 7th patch can still
go on though, as it deals with syscall numbers, not yet names, so
it's fine.

Ah and I'm keeping the 12th patch too (documentation) with some
few modifications, just to tell people syscall names are not yet
supported.

I've tested the set and played with it. It works very well.

Actually this work is just amazing. It's so easy to generate
a script for any perf.data, with the right things inside, easy
to modify as the callbacks are intuitive.

I'm pushing that right away so happily...
