I think you're missing the point - it doesn't have to be
perf. It could just as well be some other tool which _shares_
functionality with perf. See this last mail from Ingo:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126635420607236 on which you were
also CCed, by the way, where he suggests that we could have a tool
called 'hw' which reuses functionality with perf but concentrates on
error handling and all that RAS functionality in modern CPUs. It should
also have a daemon component etc...

Sorry, but from our last discussion on attempting to work towards such
an infrastructure solution I got the same impression as Thomas and Ingo
that you're simply not willing to work together on getting a real thing
done. That's why I stopped bothering - it simply made no sense to me to
waste time in fruitless discussions.
