:-) Can you please apply the two patches and give 'perf top --tui' live
annotation a shot? Just press enter or -> (right key) on a symbol you
want to annotate.

I'm still polishing it a bit, want to avoid trying the notes->lock on
each time record_precise_ip is called, for that I need to share the
current symbol being annotated (sym_filter_entry) with the annotate
browser, the timer should not always run, etc, but just so that I can
get some feedback on how it is shaping up, please try it and report your
impressions :-)

Also when enter is pressed and one is monitoring multiple events, a
popup menu with the event names should be presented, etc.
