Subject: [PATCH 3.16 065/410] perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__new_dummy
 constructor

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

commit 5bae0250237f7a5ec4355f9920701de247b8db91 upstream.

For case where all we need is an evlist with just an "dummy" evsel,
like in some 'perf test' entries.
