Just did visual inspection of the three patches, all sane, except for
some coding style nits, don't worry right now for that, I'll fix them up
myself, but please take those into account int the future, highlight
below.

Spaces around +, *,  etc

Ditto

Ditto

Should be, I suggest:

	event_array = malloc((sizeof(struct pollfd) * MAX_NR_CPUS *
			      MAX_COUNTERS * thread_num));


Anyway, I'll fix some of these while merging, now.
