Vince Weaver aa4a221875 perf: Comment /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid to be part of user ABI 
Turns out that distro packages use this file as an indicator of
the perf event subsystem - this is easier to check for from scripts
than the existence of the system call.

This is easy enough to keep around for the kernel, so add a
comment to make sure it stays so.
