You seem to want to prove something here but our reasoning is based on
experience and practicalities - not some theoretical idea what should
and what shouldn't be in the Linux kernel tree. I really don't think
that perf would have turned out to be as useful as it is if it was
developed out-of-the-tree. That's also why we think tools/kvm is such a
good idea.
