When mmapping perf events, it is necessary to iterate all (user_requested)
cpus / threads in order to conveniently set-output events on the same
cpu / thread.

It does if you want to mix per-cpu and per-thread (cpu == -1) events.
As I wrote previously, the cpus is then seen as a list of values for
parameter 3 of perf_event_open(), and therefore includes -1.

That can be renamed, since it is typically being used to mean
per-thread (i.e. per-task context)
