Well clearly not ;-)

But maybe we can do something like: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLES (note the
plural):

struct {
	struct perf_event_header		header;

	u64					nr;
	u32					common_type;
	u32					data_type;

	struct perf_sample			common;
	struct perf_sample			data[nr];
}

Where struct perf_sample is PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE without the
perf_event_header bit.

Where we can split the many samples into a piece that is the same for
all perf_samples::common, where the content specified by the
PERF_SAMPLE_ bits from ::common_type, and the the rest lives in data[]
specified by the PERF_SAMPLE_ bits from ::data_type.
