After applying patches 1-5, building an x86_64 allmodconfig produces
these errors:

In file included from include/linux/perfmon_kern.h:167,
                 from arch/x86/perfmon/perfmon.c:25:
include/linux/perfmon_pmu.h:92: warning: ‘struct pfarg_pmc’ declared inside parameter list
include/linux/perfmon_pmu.h:92: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
include/linux/perfmon_pmu.h:96: warning: ‘struct pfarg_pmd’ declared inside parameter list

Those structures aren't defined until patch 11.

In file included from arch/x86/perfmon/perfmon.c:25:

include/linux/perfmon_kern.h:199: error: ‘TIF_PERFMON_CTXSW’ undeclared (first use in this function)

arch/x86/perfmon/perfmon.c:475: error: ‘LOCAL_PERFMON_VECTOR’ undeclared (first use in this function)

These are not defined until patch 7.

So I think some rearrangement is still required.

Also, some of the x86 files that you are modifying have had their 32 and
64 bit versions combined in linux-next (which is the stuff of the next
merge window) so just a heads up that there will be more merge work then.
Lastly, some of this will clash with the generic IPIs work.

I don't want to put you off, you have done great work here, thanks.
