From: Jon Doron <jond@xxxxxx>
Add option to set when the perf buffer should wake up, by default the
perf buffer becomes signaled for every event that is being pushed to it.
In case of a high throughput of events it will be more efficient to wake
up only once you have X events ready to be read.
So your application can wakeup once and drain the entire perf buffer.
