Hi Mark,
Thank you for the thorough review. I will post an updated patchset which addresses
all of your comments. There is just one outstanding comment which I have a question about:

This is the same logic as in arm-ccn.c:arm_ccn_pmu_event_init(), where there
is a single CPU designated as the CPU to be used for all events. All
events for this slice are forced to slice->on_cpu which is the CPU set in the
cpumask for this slice.
I'm not sure how this can put an event on a different CPU to its group siblings?
Thanks,
Neil
