Things might get that bad if we enable full event lists in the kernel for all of x86, as Power is starting to do. The patch to add all Power7 events cfe0d8ba14a1d98245b371e486c68f37eba1ca52 increased kernel size by like 50k. Imagine 10 different x86 event tables times 50k each and you're talking a big chunk of memory.
