Okay, perhaps MAINTAINERS should be updated to reflect that better.

The only issue I see here is the userspace access tests will fail if
enabled in libperf for an arch but run on an older kernel without
userspace access support. I could instead skip tests if cap_user_rdpmc
is not set, but then how to test that it is set when it should be? I
suppose checking sysfs 'rdpmc' is one option assuming we end up with
the same file on Arm.
