This patch fixed both the warning i was getting during stress-tests, 
and it also solved the hard lockup i was getting with the latest BTS 
patch.

( perf record never actually finishes even short workloads, due to
  the flood of kernel events coming in faster than it can record, so
  we grow and grow the perf.data - but that's a different matter, it
  does not lock up anymore. )

Markus, does latest -tip work fine for you, is the lockup fixed on 
your side as well?

	Ingo
