hum, I don't follow.. this bool seems to mirror the usage of
'param->record_mode = CALLCHAIN_DWARF', whats the difference?

also, the patch title says 'Do not look at globals', while inside you
add new global dwarf_callchain_users and work with it.. what do I miss?

I'll check tomorrow with clean head ;-)
