Anton Blanchard 38f6ae1e1b perf stat: Failure with "Operation not supported" 
perf stat is failing on PowerPC:

  Error: open_counter returned with 95 (Operation not supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

  Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

commit 370faf1dd0 (perf stat: Fail softly on unsupported events)
added a check for failure returning ENOENT, but the POWER backend
returns EOPNOTSUPP. It looks like alpha, blackfin and mips do the
same.

With the patch applied, things work as expected:

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
