You consistently mis-spell patches to the x86 perf code and for large series this 
adds unnecessary maintainer work.

Use 'perf/x86:' for patches that affect all PMU using x86 CPUs, and 
'perf/x86/intel:' for patches that affect only Intel CPUs.

Generally a 'git log arch/x86/events/<file>.c' will tell you what pattern to use.

This applies to most of the other patches of yours in this series as well, please 
fix it - and use this consistently for future patches as well.

Thanks,

	Ingo
