Subject: Intel PT not work on 4.5.0-rc

Hi Adrian,

	While fixing a problem I introducing in parsing 'intel_pt//',
i.e. the empty '//' part, which is fixed in my perf/core by now, I tried
using intel_pt with 4.5.0-rc4 and couldn't get any trace :-\

	Talking with Jiri he tried it on his side, also a Broadwell
machine, and it worked, same tooling (acme/perf/core) but with a fedora
kernel, 4.3.5-200.fc22.x86_64.

	Later I'll try switching to the kernel Jiri is using to see if it works
for me with that one.

	I'm busy now and this Broadwell machine is my main workstation,
can you check if you reproduce this problem?
