I think we need to make clear how to deal with grouping over
events that comes for different cpus
so how do we group following events?
cstate_pkg/c2-residency/ - cpumask 0
msr/tsc/ - all cpus
what's the reason/expected output of groups with above events?
seems to make sense only if we limit msr/tsc/ to cpumask 0 as well
