Some other oddity I noticed while testing:
For:
[root@zoo ~]# perf report --header-only

I get:

This is in the 'perf report' TUI, why, for an event with 'callgraph=no', we
get callchains? How come?
If I try it with the --stdio, well, its there as well:
# Samples: 2K of event 'cpu/instructions,call-graph=no,time=0,period=20000/p'

Can you take a look? What I have, i.e. the patches from Jiri and Kan
moving stuff out of the way of the python binding and this patch is at
the tmp.perf/core branch in my git tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git
