The support for perf events is advertised by CMT CPU feature (and a few
others), but otherwise the parts of our code dealing with CPU features
and perf events are unrelated. There's no need to adjust anything in the
perf events code.

So after my replies to your comments, do you want me to resend any
patches from the series? I think the best option is to resend them all
and mark all unchanged patches so that reviewers do not need to look at
them again, but it's going to be a series of 45 patches.

Anyway, thanks for the review, I can imagine going through so many
patches to the ugly CPU code was not easy. But I think the code is
going to get better thanks to the patches :-)
