That does sound like a good idea.  It is nice finally getting to the state 
where you can fuzz for hours (rather than minutes) without hitting a bug.

Of course that might change.  Development of the fuzzer has more or less
stalled for the past 6 months as I was spending all of my time 
reporting/chasing bugs rather than enhancing the fuzzer.  

In any case if we can get the recent patches applied in time for 3.15 I 
think it will turn out to be a nice release perf-event-stability wise.
