Is it "safe" to give permissions to ordinary users to access "/dev/perfmon"?
If yes, what level of access?  does the driver distinguish between r/w
access with the get/set IOCTLS?  I noticed there are some entries listed
in /usr/include/machine/perfmon.h that are listed as dangerous or not to
use, can those be filtered out?
