Please use 'perf test' before sending patchkits:

[root@zoo ~]# perf test
<SNIP>
14: Test matching and linking multiple hists               : Ok
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       : FAILED!
16: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler                : FAILED!
17: Test breakpoint overflow sampling                      : FAILED!
18: Test number of exit event of a simple workload         : Ok
19: Test software clock events have valid period values    : Ok
[root@zoo ~]# 
[root@zoo ~]# perf test 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       : FAILED!
[root@zoo ~]# set -o vi
[root@zoo ~]# perf test -v 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       :
--- start ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: verbose
---- end ----
Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
[root@zoo ~]# 


	The python binding only links a subset of the tools/perf/util/ objects
and is an exercise in trying to modularize the functions so that we don't
drag the whole world into it or in any other libraries we come up with.

	Perhaps in this case we need to make the 'verbose' variable
available in one of the object files already in the link kit for the
python binding or plain pass verbose as a parameter to this function. I
tend to prefer the later, to avoid having a tools/utils wide global.
