This patches adds information about extending perf_event_open API to
create kprobe and uprobe. The [k,u]probe is attached to the file
descriptor returned by perf_event_open() for easier clean up.
Kernel side patches ofthis work as been accepted by Peter into his
repository:

Two new types kprobe and uprobe are being added to perf_event_open,
which allow creating kprobe or uprobe with perf_event_open. This
patch adds information about these types.

There's some grammar problem with the piece "These two dynamic PMU
creates kprobe or uprobe" which makes the sentence hard to understand.
Unfortunately, I cannot suggest a fix, because I'm bot sure what
you want to say. Could you explain further what you mean with this
sentence please.
Cheers,
