Also, I guess we need to go actually look at the POWER, IA64 and other
PMU docs to see if this sufficiently covers their data-source
capabilities.

Stephane, do you know of more PMUs with data-source capabilities we need
to include in the audit, and do you happen to have all their docs
readily available or do I need to ask google?
