Ok, so far so good.

There's just one thing:

$ perf stat -e amd_iommu_X/Y

says <not supported> and only doing the system wide tracing with -a does
it count events.

So, lemme ask perf tool people, can we guys make the -a thing default
when detect that we're running only uncore events which all should need
-a anyway?

Otherwise people who, like me, don't know that, would try to do
measurements and see the <not supported> and wonder...

Lemme add some more people to CC.
