Unfortunately this fails to build on my i386 vm (and probably other old
archs don't have SYS_getdents64 yet).

  In file included from util/pmus.c:6:
  /build/libapi/include/api/io_dir.h: In function 'perf_getdents64':
  /build/libapi/include/api/io_dir.h:28:24: error: 'SYS_getdents64' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'perf_getdents64'?
     28 |         return syscall(SYS_getdents64, fd, dirp, count);
        |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        |                        perf_getdents64

Maybe mismatched.
