Subject: [PATCH 0/4] perf, x86: Fixes for v2.6.39

This patch series contains fixes for v2.6.39. They are related to the
AMD family 15h PMU but also modify x86 generic code. See the diffstat
below.

If possible I would like to see patch #4 also in .39, though it is
more than just a one-liner with many changes in the x86 event
scheduling code. Without this patch scheduling multiple events on AMD
family 15h may fail under certain conditions though there are enough
counters available.
