So user asks for a, b and c and gets a, b, c + d and e? At the very
least we should warn that those registers are being added to the mix,
i.e. something like:

WARNING: specified --user-regs register set doesn't include registers
needed by also specified --call-graph=dwarf, auto adding missing
registers (list of missing registers auto-added).

P.S. Back from vacation, going thru backlog, hopefully will apply your
perf.data compression patchkit after testing its patches one by one,
sorry for the delay for that one (and this :))
