So, in general, we know when each event has been processed, but at that
time there is no reference to appropriate mmap. To create that link we
still need to allocate something per event.


I'm confused by the applying perf_evlist__mmap_consume() for each
perf_evlist__mmap_read, shouldn't it be for each perf_kvm__mmap_read_idx()?

	for (i = 0; i < kvm->evlist->nr_mmaps; i++) {
		n = perf_kvm__mmap_read_idx(kvm, i, &mmap_time);
		perf_evlist__mmap_consume(kvm->evlist, idx); /* <-- here? */
		if (n < 0)
			return -1;
