Right, thanks for pointing this out, we have to detect that :p is not
being used and warn the user about this possibility, i.e. user asks for
just kernel samples, tool finds user samples, tell that using :p+ may
help.

Now, using plain:

 # perf record --all-user -a sleep 2

will make it use the default which is 'cycles' with the highest
precision available on the machine, and that leaves just a few samples
that supposedly have the MISC_KERNEL bit set in the perf_event_attr
header, those are not mapping to any mmap area known to the tool, I'm
investigating what this is.

I'll apply the patch as-is, we'll check later OPT_ magic to tell that
those options are mutually exclusive.
