Currently perf-report and perf-inject are dropping a large number of SPE
records because they don't contain any of the existing events, but the
contextual information of the records is still useful to keep.

The synthesized event "all" is generated for every SPE record that is
processed, regardless of whether the record contains interesting events
or not. The event can be filtered with the flag "--itrace=o".

Forgot to remove the internal change-id tag :)

I will resend, sorry
