Nit, this is now out of sync with the comment code in perf_event.h.

Does this still suffer the divide by zero if multiplexing hasn't run
the counter? If so, we still need to add something like:

A nit, previously test-evsel was able to run and pass on a hypervisor.
As now there is a reliance on hardware events the evsel open fails on
a hypervisor. It'd be nice if we could detect running on a hypervisor
and test software events in that case.

Thanks,
