It does not, or at least I'm pretty sure it can't if the NMI watchdog is
enabled (Stephane, are you doing your tests with NMI watchdog disabled?)

This is a big problem with PAPI. If the NMI watchdog is enabled you can't
tell if a group will fail until the first read, the kernel can't tell you
at setup time.
