Right. We need to go there in the end anyway.
I had an old experiment of this some month ago:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
perf/percpu

There is one writer per cpu and a (stupid) multiplexing at report time.
It was working. Just the sorting on report time was (stupidly) slow.

I should perhaps rebase that branch and try to make something with it.
