SubjectRe: [PATCH V2 1/6] perf,core: allow invalid context events to be part of sw/hw groups

Actually you can. Just use it like a free running counter, and the
different groups sample it. This will work from the different CPUs,
as long as the event is the same everywhere.

The implemention may not be quite right yet, but the basic concept
should work, and is useful.
