So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach
all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one

As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its
own buffer.

If this is what the patch does, then yes, although I would prefer a
slightly clearer Changelog.
