Humm, I will look into making it support this usecase, the point of
evsel/evlist is to try to abstract away as much as possible, leaving
just a few methods to be used by tools.
I think the default for perf_evlist__open() should be the most useful
for the majority of tools, which I thought would serve rasd well. It is
not the case, so I'll into how the tools that currently use
perf_evlist__open() behave and try to get a sane default in place.
Hopefully we will completely remove the need to set up any thread or cpu
map, as what you want is syswide tracing, right?
