This patch-set optimizes the perf ring-buffer by removing IRQ disable and
all LOCK ops from the fast paths.

There's also an RFC patch that adds perf_output_addr() which will allow
you to write directly to the buffer, however I'm not sure how to go
about using it for the trace events since we need to multiplex event --
there is no single copy of the actual event.
