Good point. In this case, I was trying some new experimental trinity code
that starts as root, generates fd's, then drops privs before doing syscalls.
So the "generate fds" part did some perf_event_open's as root, yeah.
While that's less scary from a security pov than it was last time, it's still
something that aparently needs fixing.
