Thanks for pointing this out. Because pre-processor conditionals only have 
been moved around it looks like my test build after pulling still succeeded,
while the #ifdefs/#endifs were rather messed up.

I adjusted these parts and successfully test-built on quite a lot .config 
flavors on i386, x86_64, different ppc, ia64 and s390.

Adjusted, thanks.

Done.

@Ingo: If this does not go into x86/tip, but perf or whatever tree, it would
be great if you can ping me as soon as this stuff is in.
I want to cleanup the "double cpu_idle events" issues on top and make this
more architecture independent (throw cpu_idle events from cpuidle framework
instead of throwing very x86 specific mwait states, etc.).

Thanks,
