could the functionality be replaced with a subsequent call to
	ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT)
?

Although I suppose there's a possibility for losing a small amount of data 
or some other reason that PERF_FLAG_FD_OUTPUT was introduced in the first 
place.

In addition, if we remove PERF_FLAG_FD_OUTPUT would there then be any 
reason to keep PERF_FLAG_FD_NO_GROUP around?
