I do have a perf_event validation test suite that I maintain to help when
debugging PAPI issues.

http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~vweaver1/projects/perf-events/validation.html

it's only about 12 tests right now, but feel free to use them if you'd
like (they're GPL). I really don't have any interest in merging them into
the perf tree though.
