Well, it has built-in event loss via the UMMUNOTIFY_FLAG_HINT mechanism:
any double events on the same range will cause an imprecise event to be
recorded and cause the loss of information.
Is that loss of information more acceptable than the loss of information
via the loss of events?
It might be more acceptable because the flag-hint mechanism can at most
cause over-flushing - while with perf events we might miss to invalidate
a range altogether.
