Something like this:

	ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_DETACH, 0);

I guess this could simply set the persistent flag so that the rest of
the perf code knows not to destroy event buffers etc.

I don't have an idea about the reattaching though because you don't have
a file descriptor there.

Maybe for that we could really use the sys_perf_event_open() with flags
set to PERF_FLAG_PERSISTENT to note that we want to reattach to the
persistent event instead of opening a new one.

Something to that effect...
