so on further looking at the code, it doesn't appear that rdpmc events are
explicitly marked as unavailable in the attach-cpu or attach-pid case,
it's just by luck the check for PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE catches most of
the cases?

should an explicit check be added to zero out userpg->index in cases where
the event being measured is running on a different core?
