one thing i noticed is that we dont seem to be catching
compat syscalls properly:

phoenix:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> perf stat -e
syscalls:sys_enter_read -e syscalls:sys_enter_write -e
syscalls:sys_enter_mmap ~/hackbench 10
Time: 0.236

Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 10':

0 syscalls:sys_enter_read
0 syscalls:sys_enter_write
0 syscalls:sys_enter_mmap

0.270062020 seconds time elapsed

phoenix:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> file ~/hackbench
