Ok, I'll pick one for powerpc and another for x86_64 so that I can test
it and Jiri's x-compile support.

Refresh my mind, what is the plan on these files? Are we just going to
provide pointers to where to get them from vendors, ship it in the
kernel, auto-download them as part of the build process?

At least examples that allows to build and have a new 'perf test' entry
to check them automatically seems to be in order, no?
