Subject: [PATCH 03/16] perf, persistent: Setting default buffer size to 512k as in perf tools

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@...xeda.com>

The default buffer size used to setup event buffers with perf tools is
512k. Using the same buffer size for persistent events. This also
avoids failed mmap calls due to different buffer sizes.
