Hmm, patches 1..4,6 are in linux-tip and Arnaldo's trees but patch 5 is
in neither.

Sigh.  The port of this patchset to Power6 has not started yet.

But this patchset does work on Power7 correct ?

If so, and we figure out what happened to patch 5, can we add a patch to
to move the format code to power7-pmu.c ?
