hum, 2 arch calls.. seems too complicated.. :-\

so if you are already introducing PERF_CONTEXT_IGNORE, why
dont we go with the chain duplication/fixing in arch code
you mentioned before?

this way the callchain loop stays simple and it's extendbable
to future changes (I think u mentioned we could change more
than one entry in future..?)

thoughts.. anyone? ;-)
