Applied, thanks!

Btw., a small detail i noticed when running the pipe benchmark:

earth4:~/tip/tools/perf> ./perf bench sched pipe
(executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)

	Total time:5.076 sec
		5.076232 usecs/op
		196996 ops/sec

when i typed 'perf bench sched pipe' nothing happened for several 
seconds. The command did not finish and no output was printed.

This might surprise users - it's always good to print a single line that 
we are processing a benchmark. Maybe this could be printed from the 
generic subcommand, something like:

  running sched/pipe benchmark ...

What do you think?
