This changes machines__find to always return the machine for the

Nope:

/* Native host kernel uses -1 as pid index in machine */
#define HOST_KERNEL_ID (-1)
#define DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID (0)

But I fail to see the point of the "optimization", we're looking for a
pid, not always for '0'.

And the changelog is horrible, why is it "unnecessary"? Please don't be
so terse :-)

Hi David and Arnaldo,

It is my mistake about it!! The original code does the right thing.
Sorry to bother you, I am a newbie for perf.
I will send a patch after second and third thought next time.

Thanx for your reply.
