For perf to build on non-x86 architectures (or at least s390x and ppc64)
I think we still need:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/15943

or at least the last patch in that set, otherwise we get build failures
due to uapi/unistd.h issues.  We also need:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/15874
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/15926

because svm.h and vmx.h are x86 only headers.

Those patches above are what I'm carrying to fix the build fixes for
Fedora rawhide kernels and can be found here for those interested:
