Thanks for the comment. Just resubmitted a new patch removing the 'nmi'
parameter.

Just wanna make sure before moving on. You want to remove things like
the 'nmi' field in perf_counter_hw_event and hw_perf_counter structs and
the 'nmi' parameter of perf_counter_overflow and perf_swcounter_event
functions, etc. Right?

Thanks
