Should be in $(pwd)/perf_event.h

Remove the address, and add a pointer to the specification

Similar in the other files.

Already remove that code?

Should rate limit this warning

Should bail out here if someone else already started (e.g. hardware debugger)
The read needs to be moved to before we overwrite other MSRs

Add perf: prefix here (or better redefine pr_fmt at the beginning) 
Should be rate limited

Should be kzalloc_node()
