Ah right, brown paper bag for Anton and I :(

I shouldn't have put that one in, it was a last minute bad decision
after spending time tracking another stupid sigill in userspace (this
time FSL CPUs not implementing some optional instructions that Fedora
compiler seems configured to generate nowadays).

I've taken out that commit and the rename of the PMU interrupt (which
while trivial probably wasn't important enough). Everything else is
regressions/stable material.

That does mean I rebased, but normally nobody bases on that merge branch
so it should be fine.

I'll send a new pull request.

Cheers,
Ben.
