Summary: oparchive does not work with separated profiles

Initial Comment:
I had run a profile session with separate=all and tried
to archive it. There does not seem to be a way to
archive such profiles.

Even opreport does not display the report, without any
arguments. We can use opreport --merge=all for a
concise report.

oparchive shows this error message:

-bash-2.05b# oparchive --output-directory=/tmp/arch
oparchive error: Already displaying results for
parameter event with values:
BIFFED_BRANCHES_FINISHED:7500,BRANCHES_MISPREDICTED:7500,COMPLETED_INSNS:45000,CPU_CLK:45000,
which conflicts with parameter tgid.
Suggestion: specify event:, count: or unitmask: (see
also --merge=unitmask)

which is similar to that displayed with opreport
(without arguments).

But oparchive does not support this option.
