Another request: could you please stick the benchmarking code of the various x86 
system call variants into 'perf bench' - under tools/perf/bench/, so that 
measurements can be done on more hardware and can be reproduced easily?

I'd suggest we dedicate an entirely new benchmark family to it: 'perf bench x86' 
and then have:

   perf bench x86 syscall vdso
   perf bench x86 syscall int80
   perf bench x86 syscall vdso-compat

or so?

( I have some perf bench cleanups in -tip, so if you do this please base it on top 
  of that. )

Thanks,

	Ingo
