I thought about this, and it would greatly simplify this patch to the point that
I could get rid of all the sysfs cruft, but then I remembered about someone at
Collabora once told me of a very specific customer SoC configuration with two
Mali GPU devices. I know this might be very unusual, but I guess they could be
interested in profiling a single GPU at a time, as unplausible as it sounds.
Regarding the atomic variable for keeping track of the profiling status, your'e
right, it's an overkill. I'll just get rid of it altogether in v2.
