Yeah, so roughly speaking, we want to carve out the code which opens and handles events in perf tool so that we can use it in other tools. In the particular example with the ras daemon, we want to be able to open a tracepoint in userspace and read from it. We're doing this piecewise because perf tool changes too fast and I've done a full conversion patchset a couple of times already only to realize that it grows obsolete practically only days after sending it out. (Btw, for that it is all your fault, of course :-P). Which makes preparing a full patchset almost impossible. Does this explanation make sense? @jirka: I'll try to reproduce your build error.
