linux-2.6/tools/perf# gcc -o perf_bug perf_bug.c
/tmp/cclObJsz.o: In function `sys_perf_event_open':
perf_bug.c:(.text+0x48): undefined reference to `test_attr__enabled'
perf_bug.c:(.text+0x72): undefined reference to `test_attr__open'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Initially perf.h was meant to have just the syscall wrapper and few
system level defines (like the membars etc..)

But now its grown all kinds of gunk outside of that.

So ideally we'd split the thing into two files, one which is a
stand-alone syscall wrapper + system utils things and one which includes
the former and adds all the perf (tool, not kernel) gunk on.

I see all sorts of extern perf_{host,guest} things and util/target.h
includes.. that all should definitely move elsewhere.
