Ok, i think there's going to be quite a few of these benchmarks, so i'd
suggest you start a new directory for the benchmark modules:
tools/perf/bench/ for example.

We'll still have tools/perf/builtin-bench.c which represents the highest
level 'perf bench' tool - and new modules can be added by adding them to
bench/.

What do you think?

All in one, i very much like the modular direction you are taking here.

There will be a handful of more details i'm sure but once there's a good
base we can commit it - would you / will you be interested in extending
it further and adding more benchmark modules as well?

There's quite a few useful small benchmarks that people are using to
measure the kernel. Having a good collection of them in one place, with
standardized options and standardized output would be very useful.

Ingo
