Humm, I'm trying to cook up a:

  perf data filter --pid 12345 --perf-data-offset 1234567 --output perf.data.subset

to allow when finding some case like that to get a small subset of a
perf.data file with just the sample we want to get the backtrace from +
the mmaps, etc up to that point.

With that I could keep a repo of interesting perf.data files to have in
my regression tests.
