So, now using the 4.1+ kernel, and the results seems to be the expected
ones for intel_bts//u:

[root@zoo ~]# perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts//u  ls
anaconda-ks.cfg  b  bin  lib64	libexec  new  old  perf.data
perf.data.old  stream_test  tg.run
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.274 MB perf.data ]
[root@zoo ~]# perf report
[root@zoo ~]# perf evlist
intel_bts//u
dummy:u
[root@zoo ~]# perf report --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Will do the same tests with intel_pt as well, on a remote machine, add examples
to the changeset logs and everything going well, aim for pushing for Ingo soon,

Thanks,
