Right so far.

Note how intel_pmu_init() does: return p6_pmu_init(), so it will never
get to the x86_pmu assignment for the ARCH_PERFMON drivers.
Yep, thanks for testing and you're (mostly) quite right.
We can do the copy early though, if we return -ENODEV nothing will end
up using the x86_pmu anyway, so it doesn't matter what lives in there.

Subject: perf,x86,p6: Add userspace RDPMC quirk for PPro
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

PPro machines can die hard when PCE gets enabled due to a CPU erratum.
The safe way it so disable it by default and keep it disabled.
See erratum 26 in:
