So, the description makes it look like this is just elliminating code
duplication, but then, before we had:

[acme@jouet linux]$ perf.old stat -I 500 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
0.500164711 548,376 instructions # 0.72 insn per cycle
0.500164711 756,872 cycles
1.000405470 <not counted> instructions
1.000405470 <not counted> cycles
1.000690913 156,623 instructions # 0.48 insn per cycle
1.000690913 226,630 cycles
[acme@jouet linux]$

And now we have instead:

[acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat -I 500 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
0.500173751 555,962 instructions # 0.77 insn per cycle
0.500173751 722,964 cycles
1.000382613 0 instructions # 0.00 insn per cycle
1.000382613 0 cycles
1.001157068 154,765 instructions # 0.49 insn per cycle
1.001157068 223,609 cycles
[acme@jouet linux]$

So there is a change in behaviour.
