[root@mica ~]# perf stat -x,  -a -A -- sleep 1
-B option not supported with -x

 usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list
available events
    -i, --no-inherit      child tasks do not inherit counters
    -p, --pid <n>         stat events on existing process id


Guess we'll have to disable big_num automatically when -x is specified,
but at the same time notice if the user _explicitely_ asked for -B.

I'll fix this now.
