I went and bisected the other issue anyway.  It wasn't in 4.11-rc1, but in 
4.12-rc4.  Yes, I have a test that triggered the
	c1582c231ea041 perf/core: Drop kernel samples even though :u is specified
issue.

The test was actually losing 7% of its samples, so not just a single 
sample here or there.  The test had two events sampling, one at 100k and 
one at 200k so I guess every other sample would have two samples 
immediately back-to-back which must make it more likely to stray into the 
kernel.
