I would like to drop the static 'sample_period' optimization.
IIUC, it's possible for some platforms to create more than one arm_spe
events (e.g. Arm big.LITTLE system), in that case, it's incorrect to use
the single sample period for all of arm_spe events.
Otherwise, Arm SPE changes are good for me.
