[PATCH 1/6] perf_counter: move the event overflow output bits to record_type

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: perf_counter-record_type.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7098 bytes --]

Per suggestion from Paul, move the event overflow bits to record_type
and sanitize the enums a bit.

Breaks the ABI -- again ;-)
