Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] perf record: add dummy event during system wide

Thanks, applied after splitting it up into two patches, one for this
part:

Which isn't related to what is in the subject line for this patch, ok?
We don't need to get more patches, but we need to have patches that do
one thing and just that, to ease with bisecting, reverting things
sometimes, etc.
And thanks for the extra comments :-)
